Reva Hutkin Lavonne, you were my best bud for 40 years. I can’t begin to say how much our lives intertwined. I loved your spirit, your art which adorns my walls, all the laughs and sharing what was in our hearts. You left a beautiful family and I am Other Mother to Bonnie. I will miss you every day for the rest of my life. Rest easy now.

Sharon Amy Montgomery Sharon Montgomery: I treasure the many good memories that we created together. We grew up together! I am grateful for the times we shared, and hope our kids remember them too! Be careful what you wish for, as the birthday card said> It is you and I against the world ..and I think we are gonna get creamed! We haven’t done too badly, anyway! o

Pearl Newfeld What I mostly remember about Stefan washer artistic ability. Such an artist. She usually had a lovely smile for those she met, even though she may have not remembered or seen them in awhile. Peace always, and condolences to her friends and family.

Pat Bremner I will always remember Lavonne with tender joy; a contemplative, intelligent and sensitive woman who enjoyed walking and talking (indeed, the last time I saw her we did just that along the ocean), discussing important matters, art and her friends and family. I know that Bonnie and Sharon travelled with their mom the last few miles and gave her comfort. Sleep easy, Lavonne.

Bonnie Jean Crabbe “My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. Continue to allow humor to lighten the burden of your tender heart.”
