Aunt Lavonne you are my Buddha and my second Mom. I miss you so much! I never thought in a million years you would not be with us. My heart hurts. I hope Uncle Sonny and my mom met you with a beer in hand and a jukebox in the background. You will always be missed! Until we meet again. I love you Aunt Lavonne.

I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. Your mom was an awesome lady . I worked with her at Kohl’s in Middleton. I was the bakery manager. We would have lots of fun together with her.
