Norma and family: My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. Velma was such a good friend and neighbor for so many years when she lived in her home on Jackson Ave. She visited with my mother, Clara Matney, regularly and they enjoyed their shopping trips so much. She is missed.

I want to send my condolences to the Price family. I am a volunteer at the University Park home and I come on Saturday mornings for "The Horseracing" game. Velma has been an avid attendee, with her sister, Norma. I enjoyed knowing Velma and will miss her very much. She always had her favorite place to sit at the end of the table with Norma and her horse was always number 3. My prayers are with all of you for your loss.
