So sorry to hear of the passing of Verna. She (and her deceased husband Arthur) were great friends over many years to my Mom and Dad, Esther and Roy Prentice and both my Mom and Verna belonged to the Scarborough Sweet Adelines.
Deepest sympathy to her family at this sad time.

We were greatly saddened that you are no longer with us. Our heartfelt condolences to your family during this difficult time.

We will cherish our friendship and most of all the way we made each other laugh each and every day we were together. You were one in a million, a generous, kind and very lovely person. We will miss you.
