Letters to the Editor:

For many of us we first met Lavonne at the Tama Elementary School and she followed us for over 60 years. Her smile was a wonderful gift. She will be missed.

Lavonne and her family are a part of the fabric of Tama. They exude style and grace wherever they go and they have taught us the meaning of “family” and what it means to take care of those around us.
