Laverne was a schoolmate of mine since 1st grade. Her family lived just a few houses down Antone St. when we were young. God rest her soul.Charlotte Cole (Wilson)
I remember Laverne Well. Whenever I would visit Laura Jean, we would often walk down to see what Laverne was doing.. She always had such a sweet smile all of the time, no matter what. My childhood memories of all of us seem like 20 years ago instead of the first grade which was 72 years ago!
Wow, just wow!
