Henrietta Corbin Underwood
LaVerne and I met at Grambling University in the early sixties as dormmates! From our conversations, I could readily discern her affection for her family. I did visit the family home in Leesville one weekend with her and met her mother who was most kind. LaVerne spoke frequently of her brothers and an older sister, Gloria and her husband . Its a bit fuzzy after decades but I believe Gloria and I met briefly while she was the beloved music teacher in Franklin Parish where my Aunt Hattie CORBIN supervised. I did meet her brother, Gene ...through the years , I have thought of your family and just last week while browsing, I happened to come upon LaVernes passing. I am still in shock! About six months ago while conversing with another Gramblinite who resides in Chicago , she made mention of LaVerne , thinking we were family members ! I briefly explained how our families connected ...I can see LaVerne lived a very fruitful life! God bless all of you . He knows and does whats best! Thank God your pain will ease in time ...praying for you !
