Bro, You are a one-of-a kind son in law. Thanks for being by Michelle's side through this difficult time. May God's grace be sufficient as you mourn the loss of your dear mother in law.
Michelle and David, Your mother was one-of-a-kind. One of the delights of our numerous trips to Florida was to also see Laverne. She was truly a special lady with a bubbly personality. One can tell that Michelle is a lot like her mother in that aspect. Michelle, you are an amazing daughter to take care of your mother in the way you have. We are truly saddened by her passing and will miss her bright smiling face. May God give you the grace as you grieve your loss. She's not suffering anymore and we rest in the fact that we will see her again because of God's promise to his children. There's one more thing I should say that Laverne would appreciate. "Go Cubs"!!!!!!'

One of the best memories I have of my grandmother involves Italian salad dressing. I do not like mustard, mayo, salad dressing, or any food that includes these ingredients. My grandmother knew this and convinced/coerced me to try a salad that she always made for holiday meals. After trying to explain to her that I knew I wouldnâ??t like it I finally relented and tried some, this has now become one of my favorite side dishes thanks to my grandmother. I have had it at holiday meals up until now simply because I like it, now whenever I make it then it will remind me of her just a little more.
Laverne became a life long Chicago Cub fan when her dad Stewart, introduced her the the Cubs as a little girl growing up in Chicago. She kept the tradition going with her best friend of 60 plus years, Viola Emerson of Rockford, Illinois. True story: Laverne and I went to a Cub game together back in the middle '70s. We were about 20 rows up on the 3rd baseline behind the Cub dugout. She wandered down the isle before the game with her program to get some autographs. She came back all smiles and showed me where a player had scrawled his name. She handed me the program and asked me to look up number 88 to see who signed. There was no 88 on the program. We had a good laugh when we discovered the 88 was actually a BB. She might be the only person in history to get the autograph of the bat boy. I know I heard her distinctive voice screaming last night, 10/22, while I sat alone in my living room, as the Cubs defeated the Dodgers at Wrigley Field, 5 zip, to go on the the World Series of 2016. I could hear her yelling as her favorite player, Rizzo caught the final out and rushed the mound with his team mates. I AM POSITIVE I heard her voice! After all, being her Son-In-Law, I've heard her scream a bunch over the last 44 years. Sorry you couldn't see the game with the rest of us, but we know you are giving Jesus and the rest of them an ear full right now. Go Cubbies!!!!
We all loved Laverne and will miss her smiling face,Love from the Yates family
