Not sure what to say?

Dear Family of Velma and Jim,
I was saddened to read online the passing of my cousin Velma. Had I been in town I surely would have been there to pay respects. She was always concerned and interested in my family and proud of her children and grandchildren. I know she has suffered greatly. Hopefully she is now at peace as she serves with her beloved Jim.

We are so sadden by Aunt Velmas passing. I have so many memories of her and will miss her. I know she is now with my dad and mom and uncle James. I am sure it is one great reunion!
With love

Grandma,
I know how happy you are now with grandpa and many other's. I know you have much work to get done, now that you are free of the body that made life at the end a little harder for you. I always felt like your grandchild, never once did i feel like a step grandchild. Thank you for being such a light in my life. Love always Renea

Velma and Jim created a home that was always fun to visit and always filled with love. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of being there with Margaret and the rest of the McKeans. I hope the memories that all of you share are a comfort in this time of loss.

McKean Family: I am sorry to hear about the passing off Velma. She was a very dear lady and I cherish the menory of her that I have. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. I am not sure you will remember me but I was married to Kenneth Kresser years ago. I do remember all you children when you were small, and enjoyed visiting your mom & dads home. God be with you always. Love Judy (Kresser) Loader

Margaret & Brent,
I read with emotion of your mothers passing. I was not able to greet you at the funeral or viewing, but wanted you to know that I was thinking of you. My mother and I still have the hoja plant that was so generously shared by your mom so very many years ago. I trust things went well, and that you are left with all the wonderful memories of a wonderful mother.

Dear Family,

I'm so sorry to learn of Aunt Velma's passing and know that she is happy with Uncle Jim. She was such a wonderful example to me, full of love for everyone. Some of my foundest childhood memories is coming to your home at Christmastime and seeing your silver christmas tree with the color wheel. Coming from Jackson, seeing Uncle Jim and Aunt Velma was always the highlight of our trips to SLC.

Love to all of you ~ our thoughts and prayers are with you,

WE ARE SORRY WE DIDN'T GET TO THE VIEWING BUT ANN AND HAVE GREAT MEMORIES OF YOUR MOM AND DAD AS WE GREW UP. YOUR DAD ORDAINED TO THE AARONIC PRIESTHOOD AND MADE ME A DEACON. YOUR MOTHER WAS A PRIMARY TEACHER TO ME. THEN TO ABLE TO SERVE AS THEIR BISHOP WAS SPECIAL. KEEP THE MEMORIES AND GOOD TIMES YOU HAVE.

Jim,
I don't know if you remember me, but I used to bring your dad's TPN to him, I met you at his funeral. I just can't tell you how sad I am about your mom. I thought the world of your folks. If I ever called in sick or took the day off & it was my day to deliver, they would always call Home Solutions (now Amerita/ Infusion Innovation) to make sure I was ok. I have always kept your mom in my thoughts & I will always be gratefull for their love & kindness. My thoughts & prayers are with...
