Vern was a wonderful woman, with much to give. She was very thoughtful, always asking about how family is, how your doing, etc. She always thought of others first. We loved having her here in Dalton. She was a wonderful lady, I will cherish the knitted items she has made for me in the past. My thoughts are with you.
