Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I never did get to meet your mother but mom always spoke so highly of her. She always told me what a wonderful woman she was and always treated her so well when she’d come visit. I know it is going to be hard for a time…I still miss mom even though I know she is with the Lord. I miss her physical presences. Our deepest sympathy for you and your entire family. You will all be in our hearts and prayers. We love you!
I was so sorry to hear about your Mother’s passing. Though I didn’t get the chance to visit with her but a few times, I knew what a wonderful women she was. What a great example of faith, compassion and love. She leaves her spirit and legacy behind as she instilled the same in her own children. I believe Heather is a lot like her mom and that’s a very good thing. She will be missed but what a glorious feeling to know she is up there, no longer in pain, walking the golden streets with every one that passed through the gates before her. I am happy for her for that. I know the pain of losing your mother but also know the joy of their going home. My, and Carl’s, mother passed a few years back and she loved Lavon so. I can see the two of them visiting and the genuine laughter coming from the both of them. My sincere condolences to the Heather and the entire family. My payers are with you. Love, Kathy
Heather and Carl, Fran and Kevin, and families, I was sorry to hear of the death of your mother. I will always remember her as a wonderful woman who was so delightful to be around and always with a smile, in spite of difficulties. She was, and will continue to be, an inspiration to me. I will always remember the evenings spent singing in her home. Heaven holds a wonderful place for her.
Tony, Kristin, Frannie and the whole Weber family,I will always remember your mom’s beautiful voice when answering the phone or walking in to the Tupperware bldg. It was always ‘well hello there, Barbara Eckerman’! Your whole family is a wonderful example of what being a true Christian is. Having lost my mom 9 years ago, I truly know how you feel. The promise is that we will see her again. They are with Jesus now and Lavon’s work here was done. Her room is ready now. The best tribute you can give her is to carry on her legacy. I really wanted to come see everyone, but we are leaving for Hawaii on Sunday. Too many things to do today. Thank you so much for everything you all helped me with in my early Tupper years. May God Bless you all, Love, Barbara Eckerman
To the family: You all are in our thoughts and prayers. Lavon will be missed by many as she was an inspiration and example to many. She was a wonderful christian lady and I was proud to know her. I have great memories of her big lovely home full of people with retreats and things she held. We had PURPLE in common for many years! 🙂 I knew her from Poplar Ave. and Tupperware. I appreciated her help with my Bridal shower and Wedding. She was sweet, kind, loving, strong and more. I know you all have wonderful memories to sustain you at this time also. She is getting her reward now, she is resting. In Him, John, Cindy (Green) and Ariel McGregor
I hate to say good-bye to a most wonderful person. She was an inspiration to too many people to count. She always had such a positive attitude and passed that along to so many people. She really lit up the place no matter where she was or what she was doing! I always looked forward to seeing her at the conventions and seminars. She will be missed by countless people. Goodbye Lavon, rest easy.

Heather and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of loss. Cherish all your memories of your Mom. I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing your Mom but it sounds like she was a wonderful person. I am sure that I might of seen her at a tupperware meeting in Topeka sometime but I don’t recall. Take care. Deepest sympathy. Sue Affolter, Clifton, KS
Heather, Carl, Tony & Kristin – Your mom was a tremendous influence on my tupperware life. Her passing leaves a major void. Thank you, Lord, for Lavon Weber.
What a wonderful spirit to have looking over all of us, especially the tupperware people.
Dear Heather & Carl, I am so sadden by the loss of your mother, Heather. It is not easy but I know like myself I didn’t want to see either of my parents suffer anymore. Dad has been gone for almost 13 yrs and Mom almost 5 and there are still days that I wish they were here. And they are in spirit as will you mother. It will get easier once you get by all those first special dates this next year. We are praying for you and your family and please know that we care. Blessings, Deb Mayer
I am so sorry to hear about Lavon. She was a loving, caring and understandable woman that everyone was loved and touched by her. We are going to miss you Lavon!!
Each of you is so blessed to have a mother who not only taught you how to make a living but also how to make a life. To me, Lavon was a kind, compassionate and understanding woman who followed her calling so well and thus was able to influence those who were fortunate enough to know her. I realize each of you will miss her terribly, but I am so thankful and encouraged to know where she will now spend eternity. God bless each and every one of you. In His love, Larry & Martha
