La Verne knew more about clothing than anyone. If she had followed her dream she would have designed clothing for movies and actresses. She would have taken Hollywood by storm! Not only was she gorgeous on the outside she was on the inside too. Very people oriented, loved meeting new people and keeping close friends. LOVED to party and dance! Funny, intelligent (my personal walking dictionary) no matter what word I asked her to spell she knew right off the top of her head and the meaning. She loved animals from rats to cats and dogs and even a gopher she thought was a hamster. (That story is hilarious.) She was a cub scout den mother in high heels. She had 4 children 2 girls (1 deceased) and 2 boys, she has 1 grand daughter and 3 great grand children all of whom estranged themselves. So did her son's Karl Puls and then Jon Nemeth (taking after his father) abusing her in her later years horribly and they both estranged themselves after taking all they could get out of her leaving her broke and in debt when she passed. If you needed a place to stay La Verne invited you in. All my friends loved her and would call her mom within minutes after meeting her. She always looked younger than she was. Nice dresser and kept up with the styles and music. She introduced me to some artists I hadn't heard of. She would come home pulling up in the driveway music blasting in her 80's. Janis Joplin was her fav! I made her a CD with Joplin's greatest hits and in her 90's holding on to her walker standing there rocking out. I miss my momma so much! Riverside Community Hospital MURDERED HER intentionally for $. At least she's away from all the pain, disappointments, and disease and back with her family that loved her deeply on the other side. God Bless you Mom. I love you so much. Tina
