I enjoyed spending time with you this past year. I loved listening about all the places you visited and your adventures. You were a very intelligent woman and I'm so glad we got close. You fought the good fight and now you have your reward. I will never forget you Auntie. I miss you :{ Love Nicole

Billington Family,

Like Laverne, I was a contract specialist at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs. I was fortunate to have worked with Laverne from about 1979 to 1983. She was a fine person, who set an example of high standards for her colleagues. I know she will be sorely missed.

God Bless you all in this time of sorrow.
