I will always remember Las Vegas with You and Bob when Brooke Lennon and I were married, especially our car ride in the infamous Lincoln through the desert picking cactus leaves. So long ago. . . but the memories remain intact. Rest in Peace with Bob.
Praying for my
family during this time of sorrow. My Aunt Vonda will be truly missed.
The death of a loved one is the most devastating experience a family can face. At times, the pain of the loss will seem unbearable. Please know that there are friends who care about you and your family during this difficult time and more importantly Psalm 34:18 tells us that “God is near to those that are broken at heart. We pray that Jehovah the God of all comfort is with your family during this difficult time of grief. Our prayers are with you and your family.
I knew Vonda back in the fifties, her brother was my best friend. I remember her laughter when she was happy. Vonda was and always will be a lady. God Bless.
Thinking of an incredible aunt to so many of my cousins on the LaVoy (Lance) side. Her style, her laugh, her smile…
Rest in Peace, Aunt Vonda.
