I am so sorry to learn of Lavett's passing. What a beautiful photo of her and just as I remember her. She was such a sweet lady. I worked with her and her sister as telephone operators at GTE in Norwalk. My sincere condolences to the family. May the following verse bring comfort during this difficult time. What must it be to step on shore and find it-HEAVEN;
To take hold of a hand and find it-GOD´S HAND;
To breathe new air and find it-CELESTIAL AIR;
To feel invigorated, and find it-IMMORTALITY;
To sail from the care and turmoil of earth
To one unbroken calm;
To land there and find it-GLORY.
