Not sure what to say?

Praying for peace during this difficult time. We are so sorry for you loss. I know my Mom, Julie Buskol would extend her sympathies as well. She had many childhood memories growing up with Vera, memories of when her husband Gary worked with Vera at Sioux Printing for many years and then many meals and bingo and knowing she always had a friend at Touchmark. Sending our sympathies to your entire family. Heidi Jerke & Julie Buskol

Extending sympathy in your loss. cherish good memories. It was always nice to see her and visit with her when there would be family gatherings. Prayers for peace and comfort.

Vera and Gilbert were wonderful people.
I got to know them when they moved to Touchmark.
Vera was a very kind person with a wonderful smile .
She will be very happy to reunite with Gilbert in heaven.

Grandma I know we didn’t keep in touch much being in AZ but the small memories I have will cherish forever. I know what strudels are because of you. I know what a ripe strawberry and raspberry looks like because you helped me pick them from your garden. you always reminded me where all the toys were when I came to visit. I was always scared to go up those attic stairs but the amount of toys up there made it all worth it. love you forever grandma. Wish I was around more. love always...
