I am so sorry about Verna’s death. We shared many good times together as we worked on various committees within WELCA. I will think of her every time I plant a flower, bake a cake, or dress the altar.
She will be missed by so many people at Good Shepherd; she was truly a shepherd.

Dear Elizabeth and all,
Of the few times when I would come home that I got to see Verna, I always enjoyed conversations with her. She was such a sweet lady, and will be missed by all. My thoughts are with you .
