I can't express how much I appreciate the everything that Laverne did for my family. My kids especially remember the chocolate pound cakes. Bucky loved the rolls and didn't mind asking her when she was going to make some more. She was even our "doctor on call" sometimes. Her friendship with Nell Jones was very special to all of us. There are no words to describe what an impact she made on our lives and we are blessed from having her in our lives.

Reggie and Cheryl, this is a wonderful tribute to your mother, she sounds like a great lady. I pray God's arms embrace her family during this time of sorrow. I know she is well now and enjoy the presence of God. I so wish I could be at her funeral but I have a conflict...my the Lord be with you all! Beth

Gib, Reggie, Mark, and Jerry,
Please know how deeply sorry I am for your loss. I know first hand how hard it is to lose a wonderful Mother. I know how much Laverne loved her boys, I've always wondered how she possibly lived through raising you three. Especially Reggie and Jerry. God bless her! I pray that God will give you peace in the coming days, weeks, and years as you remember all the good times. I admire how you all took such good care of her these past few years. You can always rest assured you did all you could do for Big Mama. Love to each of you,
Darla Gosnell

Dearest Reggie & Cheryl, we are so sorry for the loss of Big Mama. I know how much she loved y'all and y'all her. What a great obituary write up about her life and her love of Mr. Gosnell and all of you. "Absent from this body, present with the Lord." I know Big Mama is resting in God's perfect peace. Our love and prayers to you all.
