"Bonnie & Steven I'm so sorry to hear of Lavanda Jo passing. Thoughts & prayers going up

"Jo was a wonderful grandma to my daughter. She started the tradition of sending my daughter a birthday card with a dollar for each birthday year inside. I wish that Jo could have seen how excited Zoe got each year when she counted out the dollars on her birthday and realized that she had the same number of dollars as her new age. Jo always made me feel loved and welcome in her home and at family events and I will truly miss her. So thankful that Zoe and I got to have Jo in our lives. Sending love and prayers to all who loved Jo--her family and friends and those of us that Jo chose to include in her family. We love you grandma Jo and miss you already.

"Dear Mixon family: I'm so very sorry to hear of Lavanda's passing. Asking God to comfort you all during this sorrowful time.

"My name was Kathy(Henry)growing up.I went to school with Lavonda & church when we were 13-14 yrs old. From our time growing up &going to school, Lavonda was always kind to me,she took up for me when class mates picked on me or tried to bully me. Lavonda was a year older than me, she was in my older sister Karen's grade. They were one grade ahead of me. I'll never forget how nice&kind she was to me. I didn't see her for a lot of years, then one day I went with a friend Denise to visit her sister &Lavonda(Jo)& there she was, still as nice as she had always been. Love u Jo. Luv Kathy Russell(Henry)
