Johnson Family, My sister and I, along with our Mother golfed with LaVonne on the Tuesday night League at Maple Hill for years. She was always great fun. After our Mother passed 11 years ago, she always remembered her with a Memorial on both her birthday and her death day. I remember that when Mom died, Lavonne brought flowers to the Funeral Home because she said that Mom was too special to have just anyone deliver the flowers. She was such a special lady and I know that my Mom is so very happy to have her friend with her in Heaven. I'm sure she is being serenaded by the Mills Brothers right now. May she rest in peace and my you find great comfort in your memories of her. She was a great lady. Our prayer are with you all. Kelly Rasch

Lisa & Jay: Thank you for the phone call. Mom was such a feisty, loving, special person. She always had to play the back nine and I always tried to accommodate her and keep her happy. She always loved to take some beer with her. Many times she would bring me special holiday signs and once on Mother's Day brought me flowers. Joy Bradley
