Donald,

My mother worked with your mother at West Point many years ago. I am sorry to hear of your loss.

We have photo of your mother with office, I will be glad to share with you.

My mother died in 2003. I wish she could have been in contact with your mother. She would have enjoyed it.

My mother spoke very highly of your mother.

Over the distance, I join Verda's family members and Trinity family members in sadness at the loss of a sweet and loving woman. I picture her still sitting in the last row of the church at service or in the fellowship hall during an event, smiling and just glad to be there. My love to Shelby and all the rest of the family.
