I just learned of her passing as I was out of state. So sad for all of you, though certain God has a beautiful angel with him. I truly loved this wonderful woman...the gleam in her eyes always spoke of love and compassion. Prayers for Dave, Judy and Leland as you have lost a treasure. She will be remembered by all.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Vercil our thoughts and prayers go out to the family . She was a fantastic one of a kind lady! Always treated me like one of her own and one of the kindest warmest people I knew even when I didn't warrant it. God has some great help with his needs. May God bless you all.
