I worked with Lavetta for years at Jr. Foods. I had so much respect for her. I always enjoyed when I had the opportunity to spend time with her. I saw her just a couple of months ago at the Senior Center. She didn't know who I was, but she still was friendly. My prayers go to Dorothy and the rest of her family. May God put his comforting arms around you.
Just read Lavetta's obituary. Was out of town & am soooo sorry was not here to come to her visitation & service. Lavetta was a co-worker for many years & I loved her very much! So sorry for your loss.
Janis - so sorry about Lavetta. I know you will miss her.
