Elvis and I are so sorry for you. You have been such a great son to your Mom. I could always see how much you loved her by just the way you treated her. She is finally home with your Dad and Jesus.
I have known your family since I was about 19 years old. They always treated me like family. I was always impressed by your Mom and how she always kept your family going at home while your Dad was out doing God's work. She was truly a gift from God. We look forward to seeing all our friends again real soon in Heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Glenda and Elvis

It hurts my heart to see our older warriors slip away, and certainly Lavada was one of those. I began attending Central AG in 1949 when I was six years old and the Allens were already there. Al taught my junior high Sunday School class and Lavada was always quietly in the background, supporting and working. She was a woman of substance who lived her faith, and I am immensely proud of having known her. My sympathy to Mark, but my congratulations to Lavada on a race well run.
