Verna never gave herself enough credit for being the wonderful and beautiful woman that she is. She enriched the lives of all her sisters in the LDS Relief Society by sharing her wisdom, life experiences, wit, charm, kindness and smile. She was a faithful visiting teacher. I will miss her. I do already.

Mother, what a tough way to bring all your family together. However, it happens because of how much we all love you. You are still the light of my life.
