Not sure what to say?

The Ramberg family, who lived down the street from your family for years, extends their condolences to the entire Walker family. Verna was a wonderful neighbor with a sweet personality and lovely smile! To me, her white hair was ever so striking! A few years ago, I had the opportunity to chat with her on a drive through the neighborhood. What an absolute honey!
Being the youngest of the Ramberg girls, I remember very well, that giant black Poodle--he chased me from your house to...

Verna Mae was a wonderful human being. I always felt as though she was like a second mother to me as I was growing up and truly anyone would have been proud to have her as a mother figure in their life. I will never forget the fact that she always had such a beautiful smile that was contagious to everyone around her. Everyone was welcome into her world…she made the world a better place. She will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this time of sadness.

Not only was Verna my dear sister-in law she was my dearest friend. I shall miss her terribly, her delightful welcome, her open arms, her wellingness to listen and be a part of our lives. Condolences to the immediate family.

Verna will be missed by all. My prayers are with the family.

Verna was a great person and I am glad I had the opportunity to know her. I was also lucky enough to talk with her on Sunday two weeks ago at the nursing home about her family and life and what a full one she had led. She felt very blessed and so do I because I knew her. Melissa

A lovely lady; a beautiful smile which she used constantly; a sweet Christian personality. And she loved music! Our loss; heaven's gain.

We shared many good times with Verna and our prayers are with Deb, Terry, Dezi, and the rest of the family at this difficult time. Verna will be welcomed into heaven with joy and thanksgiving.

Verna was indeed a great lady. All that knew her were blessed to have had her in their lives. My deepest condolences to all that loved her.
