My heart goes out to Lavinia’s family. God bless each of you during this difficult time. I will miss Beanie even though we haven’t seen each other in 20 or so years.
My heart breaks for Lavinia’s children and her extended family. She truly lit up my spirit with mother’s day cards and encouraging words to me over the years. She excelled at life. Lavinia loved God deeply as well as the people in her life. She blessed all who had the privilege of calling her friend with joy and so much more. Lavinia we will miss your love & life here on earth. We look forward to being reunited with you someday in Christ for eternity. Your higher calling has begun. We don’t understand why right now, but we entrust you and the lives of your children & family to the maker of Heaven & Earth. God will never leave them or forsake them. He will not leave them comfortless. God is near the brokenhearted.

I served with Lavina on NOVA GB 46. I was blessed by her humble demeanor and transparency that allowed the beauty and loveliness of Our Lord and Savior to shine through her.
Dear Scott and Libby, My heartfelt condolences to you and your family for the loss of your mother. We knew her when she attended McLean Presbyterian Church years ago. You may remember my daughter Lindsay. She is about your age, but a little older. If there is ever anything we can do to help you please let us know. Sincerely, David and Lindsay Johnson
We are thinking about you with our hearts and remembering you in our prayers. With sympathy, Linda and Lew Buckley
My thoughts and prayers are with you both, Libby and Scott, at this very sad time. Believe that God has a plan and that he loves you both, and will never forsake you. You are wonderful kids, and you’ll both get through this and find your place in the world. God bless you both.
I will miss Lavinia’s spunk and spirit and creativity and charm and love of the Lord. But no one will miss her more than you will, Scott and Libby. May the Lord comfort you and provide for you; may you know His love even in this sad, sad, time. With sympathy, Jaye Hungar (from MPC)
Dear Scott, Libby, Nancy, Sue and George: My heart goes out to all of you at the loss of your mother and sister. I first met Lavinia when she was 12 years old and even though our lives have taken very different paths over the years we have kept up with each other on and off especially in the past 2 years. She was a special person who was gifted in so many ways and I am so sorry she left this life so young. Love to you all and thinking about you during this difficult time.
You and your family are in my prayers. You brought much joy to many. Be at peace.
I’m so, so sorry to hear of your loss. Scott and Libby, I was always so glad to see your mom when she came over to visit our house. She was always so fun to talk to and had lots of questions. I had fun babysitting you when you were little and chatting with your mom when you were all sleeping. She really cared for both of you and made sure you were both tucked in tight as soon as she came home. She was also such a friend to my mom. I will be thinking of you guys all the time. I send my love to your family as you go through this difficult time.
Scott & Libby I am so sorry for your loss. Your mother spoke of you two daily & she loved you so very much. I pray that you find peace & comfort during this difficult time & know that she is your angel watching over you from this day forward. She will be missed at the ACA, but her spirit will always be with us. God Bless.
My deepest condolences to Scott, Libby, and the family. Lavinia was a wonderful person and she is dearly missed.
Dear sweet Bean, Becky & I were so hoping to have another ‘Kinzer Girls’ reunion at the mountain cabin. We will now do it in memorial to celebrate having you in our lives, for far too short a time. May the Peace of our Savior cover you in His Grace, joy, and blessings. Love you always & miss you like mad, Vickie & Rebecca
Scott and Libby, I am so sorry for your loss. I too lost my mother at a very young age and offer to you to remember how much she loved you and all the things she has taught you. Her memory will always be with you and she will always be looking after you. I hope that you find solace in knowing she is always with you. Be strong, make her proud and remember how loved you are by her and those around you.
Though I never met Lavinia, I grieve deeply for her passing. I wish Libby, Scott, and Jeff strength, hope, and peace as they forge their new lives without her loving presence.
Dear Scott and Libby, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was an amazing person, and she loved you both so much. I hope you will always feel her love for you. Your mom had such a welcoming spirit and she made everyone feel like one of her true friends. Our family is keeping you both in our thoughts and prayers. Stephanie, Rosalia, and Hugo
I am so very sorry for the loss of your dear mother, Scott and Libby. I know you already know this, but I want you to know that is was obvious to your mom’s friends that she loved you very deeply and was so proud of you both. Always remember that.
I am so sorry to learn of Lavinia’s passing. I had the privilege to work with her through the ACA. She will be missed very much. My deepest sympathies.
Dear Scott, Libby and Family, It has been several years since we last saw your mom. She was always such a joy to be around. Her smile and laugh were contagious! I have many memories but we were most touched when your mom cooked a full meal for our family when my youngest son was born and I was still recovering. She was such a giving spirit! Libby, Rachel and I ran into you at McDonald’s not long ago. You have become such a beautiful young lady. So glad you stopped us to say hello. Blessings to you all. Tony & Beth Weier & Family
I am so sorry and shocked to hear of your mother’s passing. We worked together at Dancing Mind Yoga and I always looked forward to our Thursday evenings. She spoke of you two often and her love for you was so deep. Please accept my deepest sympathy.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time. We send our heartfelt caring and deep sympathy. (I am the spokesperson for Facilities Management at Mary Baldwin College, and I work directly with Sue).
Dear Libby and Scott, I watched as you both grew during your 7 years at Cunninham Park. It was obvious that your mother loved you very much and instilled in you the qualities of kindness, respect, and responsibility that you demonstrated every year, and was a reflection of her own character. People will try to find the right words to express their sympathy. Remember they mean well, and be patient with them. I was 13 when my Dad died. Our family minister’s words to me were “You must understand this is God’s will.” I turned my back on God for several years because I didn’t understand, couldn’t understand. Whatever your feelings are, they are yours. They are uniquely personal, and you are entitled to them. When you are able, I encourage you to share and reshare memories of your mother, and ask others to tell you their stories, too. Especially of funny things that were said or done that made you all laugh. She is watching over you, waiting to hear you laugh again.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you in the loss of your mother, sister, daughter. Lavinia was a wonderful and very special person. Although I had not seen her in many years, we have always kept in touch since I first met her at age 13. I have so many fond memories of Beanie and my life was enriched just by knowing her. I wish for all of you comfort and peace.
Scott and Libby, I am so sorry to hear about your mother’s passing. She was such a wonderful, caring, and fun person. While I haven’t seen her a lot over the past few years since we moved away from Park Street, I have such fond memories of her and how she treated Alexander like a second son. It was a blessing to know her and I will truly miss her. Our love and sympathy goes out to your family.
Dear Libby, Scott, and Beanie’s family, You all have been in my thoughts and prayers since the day we all found out about Lavinia’s passing. I grew up with Beanie, lived down the road from the Home beside the Capitos, her church parents, and we were very close for many years. I last saw her in Annapolis at my wedding in 1988 and we just reconnected on FB! Your Mom was and is an incredible person in so many ways! I know the spirit of life she instilled in you both will carry you through the grief better than any words or counseling could. You are both destined to be wonderful contributors to our world just like she was….she will live in and through you until God brings you together in eternity. I pray you will find peace in your hearts and celebrate her life in the way you live yours. Much love, Marianne Martin Kibler
