Aunt Lavola was always so sweet, living in Ohio and visiting just once a year was such a great time together. I really enjoyed visiting. My birthday is 4 days before hersâ° Lavola never missed a chance to call and wish me a Happy Birthday and I would cherish calling her on hers. I will miss those days. My thoughts and prayers will go out to Doyle and Karen love Tommie Joe.
