Dear Bild Family, We were so saddened to hear about your Mom's passing. Barry really enjoyed working with her and Diane's memory of Laverne's "eeeasy pick up" saying during bowling will never be forgotten. We will always remember her as a fun and loving person. May your memories give you peace and comfort in the days ahead.

Aunt Laverne was such a great lady. I love her so and can't believe she is gone. I'll never forget all that she did for my parents. She was a giver...always willing to help in any way that she could wanting nothing in return. She loved her family with all her heart and was very proud of all of them. She's forever in my heart. Love you, Aunt Laverne

Grandma was the most giving person I know. She gave in any way that she could. I am so happy that she could meet Isabelle and come to OK to visit us. She was a strong woman who lived through so much. I can only hope that I am a wonderful woman just like her and that I can raise my daughter to be as strong and giving as she was.

Aunt LaVerne was always a favorite aunt. Warm, caring and kind - with only good things to say about others. We always made it a point to visit her and Uncle Larry when we made a trip to South Haven. She will be missed by all of us.

To all the Bild family, I am so sorry to hear of LaVerne's passing. She was such a sweet and funny lady. I have many memories of being at your house and going places with your Mom. Especially the rides to school in the winter when we picked up Walter! She will be sorely missed. Love and Blessings to all, Wendy Nelson Lavin

I'm happy I had the chance to visit Aunt LaVerne at Holland Hospital..a week ago Monday. She was in great spirits and so sharp! She told me that "she was truly blessed" with great kids and grandchildren. She went on to tell me of her daily schedule of visits and phone calls from her "kids." She showed me the cell phone log, cards and artwork from her grandchildren. She was so appreciative of her family. We spoke about the reunions.. she was talking about last summer's reunion on the porch. I'll always treasure my visit.... Please accept our deepest sympathy from my entire family. Theresa

Mrs. Bild was one of the finest people I have ever known! Always with a smile, a laugh and a good thing to say. It was my priviledge to be her neighbor for much of my life. I will truly miss her.

Dear Bild Family - No words can describe what you must be going through. However, I am sure your mother passed onto each of you and your children her essence of being and now it is up to you and yours to pass it forward. Thinking of you during this time. - M
