I loved "Grandma Challis"! There was not a sweeter, more loving person in the world than her. I wasn't a part of her family but she treated me like I was. She lived as an example of the pure love of Christ. I want to grow up and be just like her. We will meet again!
Love you lots, Katie Johnson

Verna was one of my heroes growing up--someone I wanted to be like. She was always so positive and kind, and there was no question that she knew and loved our Savior. I especially admired the way she cared for, and involved her children in caring for, Grandpa Fish.
She was so very practical. One of my favorite memories of her was during the time she was young women's president. She was loved by the young women, who showed their love by toilet-papering Verna's trees and bushes. Well, Verna couldn't let all that good toilet paper go to waste, so she gathered it up in bags and took it to the cabin for the usual purpose.
I am one of many whose life will be blessed forever for knowing Verna.

I am so glad I got to visit with your mother a little over a year ago. She was the same sweet, gentle, yet strong woman I remembered as a young teen when I would hang out with Suzanne. She always made me feel welcome in her home. I am now living in the town where she was born. May you all feel the peace the comforter brings. I wish I could be at the funeral. I am sure it will be a glorious celebration of her Christ-like life.

I consider Verna Challis to be one of the most Christlike women that I ever knew.
Our family had a long association with her family in the old 9th Ward and since. I cherished the time that I was the home teacher to the Challis family when I was in high school. I know that they taught me more than I taught them.
Don spoke at my Mom's funeral all those years ago, and Verna spoke at my Dad's a couple of years ago, which was much appreciated by myself and my family. I am sure that Verna and Don are sharing a great reunion together.
I have great memories of ward campouts, trips to Lake Powell, Scout camps with Woody, and just times together as families.
Verna Challis, in my book, is one of the greatest people that I know and she will be missed.

Sweet Grandma Challis will be missed. She was so giving with her time and talents. Adopting our family as her own, she supported us in so many ways. Love and prayers,

I am sorry for the loss of your dear mother, Brian and to the rest of your family. God Bless you all. The hole will never be filled as she is not truly gone but on another journey until you meet again.

The world has lost a wonderful woman, but what a great reunion up in Heaven. Thank God for the plan of salvation that allows us all to be together again.
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this difficult time. I loved your Mother's hugs in church.
Love, Roxanna (Hillside Ward)

Dear Lynne & Dick, Woody & Ruth, and rest of this wonderful family,
What a heritage you have to bless all of your lives.
I went to high school with dear, beautiful Lynne, and feel part of this amazing family through marriage (my cousin Ruth married Woody).
My love and prayers are with you as you celebrate the life of this great woman.
