January 7, 2020 at 12:25 amMike, sorry to hear of your loss. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family. When I lost my wife, Rea, 4 years ago, the emotional impact was huge. It still hurts. So I know what you are going through and will go through. Just know that LaVerne’s memory will never fade. You have family and friends to lean on and many good memories. I don’t think I ever met LaVerne but it appears she had a love for animals. So did Rea and so do I. Rea also wanted memorials to go to animal rescue shelters. So, I will make such a donation for the love of animals in memory of LaVerne.
