Michelle & Mario Plaza wrote a sympathy message

“In loving memory of Laverne Andrea Barnett, please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. We have never met Laverne in person, but knew her through the prayer line. Every morning was a great privilege to hear her soothing voice reading Bible text & EGW writings. Our heart breaks for your loss Brother V, but one day soon, she will hear the voice of her Creator calling her by her new name and new body to rise and join Him in the air, and so shall she be forever with our God. RIP”

“Very sad about Laverne's passing she was a good friend and was a pleasure to be around. We attended church and did post graduate studies at Temple University as she moved on to Law School. Smart, kind, funny one of the nicest people you ever knew.”
