Bill, Tom, Kevin and Pam,
I'm so sorry to hear of LaVergne's passing. I wish I could have been there in person to express my love and sympathy. You'll all be remembered in my prayers.
Who can forget all the times our families spent together. God bless LaVergne.
Love,
Maureen

To the Reith Family: May the love of family and friends carry you through your grief. Aunt LaVergne will always be well remembered for her famous hairdo, wonderful sense of humor, and her fondness for chocolate candies. At my brother Howard's wedding, she would sneak in and helped herself with all the fancy chocolate truffles in her little purse. It was Uncle Bill's job to guard her purse while she searched for some more candies. It was so entertaining to watch her in action when it came to chocolate candies!!! Perhaps, the ability to have a sense of humor and endless of funny packed actions certainly run in the family!

There are so many wonderful memories of fun times as we celebrate her life.
Love, Carol Reith
