Hey Lavina, I've been thinking about you a lot today, mostly that I can't believe it's been so long without you here. You were such a good friend and amazing artist that its hard not to feel like the world has been robed of your presence. You found joy in everything; music, nature, people, creating and while hanging out with you it was contagious. I'm so sorry that you felt so alone and I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you. I hope you're happy and at peace wherever you are. You deserve it. - Posted by: Sara (Friend and classmate ) on: Apr 29, 2020

Thinking about you today and many days, Lavina. I regret not being there for you when maybe I could have been. You were and continue to be so passionate, fun, and beautiful. I still remember going to your birthday parties or out to the cabin, it feels like forever ago, and I know I've personally changed so much, as have you most likely. I hope you are at peace now and know that so many people love you. I'll always miss you <3 - Posted by: Hayley (Friend & schoolmate) on: Dec 05, 2014

Rest in peace beautiful girl. It truly breaks my heart that I wasn't around to help you out in your time of need. I pray your suffering is over now, and you can finally be at ease. I'm so sorry you felt this was your last option. I wish I could have been there for you. God bless your soul angel. - Posted by: mon (friend, classmate) on: Feb 06, 2012
