Deb and Family, My sincerest sympathy goes out to you over the loss of your Mother! She had her times but for the most part was a very Loving, and fun Woman to be around. We have some great memories to remember with her! Love and HUGS! <3

Verna played a huge part in my childhood summers. Grandma June and I would spend hours at Verna's house: the ladies drinking coffee and playing cards while Debby and I played. She will always have a special place in my heart.

My Aunt Toots will be missed very much along with her sense of humor and her ability to have a good time. We wish we could be there. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love to all of you!
