To the Corbett Family, My sincere sympathy in the loss of your mom and grandma. I knew your mom through the Lakeview Moravian church where I am a past member. Every time I saw your Mom she always had a smile on her face. She was a go getter and always wanted to help other's . If I was living in Madison I would be coming to the funeral home but I am married now and live in El Paso Texas. I just wanted to share my condolences at this time. Gary My sympathy to you and I hope your doing ok. Your in my thoughts and prayers . Jan (Hanson) McMullen

My sincere sympathy to the family and friends of LaVera. The loss of our dear loved ones can be very difficult and distressing to cope with. It has helped myself and others when we remember that they now safely rest in the loving memory of our Grand Creator, waiting for the fulfillment of His promised purpose. Also, may your own good and loving memories of LaVera help to soothe your hearts. Sincerely
( Revelation 21 : 3-5; Acts 24 : 15; Psalms 37 : 11 )

My thoughts and prayers to LaVera's loved ones. She was an excellent neighbor to us on Walter Street during the years we lived there. I can not count the wonderful conversations we had! I was sad to see her house sell earlier this year (I pass by there often)- and figured her health was failing. Please know that LaVera left a happy, loving place in my heart during some very busy years when raising a young family. I know how much she loved her children and so proud of all her grandchildren. She will be remembered fondly!
