I knew Mrs. Bearden at Stratton. She was a wonderful person and such a great support to the teachers. Her work ethic and love of children was so obvious. So glad I got to know her and work with her. She touched many lives in such a good way, including mine. Prayers of comfort for all that loved her. So sorry for your great loss.
Bill, Barbara, Deborah, Tommy, and Family. My heart is broken for the loss of Mrs. Laverne. She was one of a kind, and I am so glad that she was a part of our neighborhood and church life. As a new mother with no relatives nearby, Bill and Laverne are a testament to how my children survived. If you still have the Free Willy movie, I hope your great grandchildren are enjoying it as much as Evelyn and Emmett did! We love you all, and sending hugs from West TN. With sincere sympathy, Bonnie and George Daniel
