Not sure what to say?

Dear Andrea, Gail and the rest of Verna's family, I am so sorry to hear about this heartbreaking loss.

I just found out about Verna. I have thought about her over the years. So sad I didn't get in touch. I haven't knows anything that has been going on in her life but I miss her just the same.
I remember some fun and crazy times during high school in your house! No details so don't ask. But we always had so much fun. Verna had a very contagious and beautiful personality.
God that seems like so long ago. We were the exact same age.
I have some pictures of her if you'd like...

Andrea and Michael,
My name is Kayla Miller, I'm Angie Millers daughter, Dixie Clemens grand daughter. I'm not sure if you remember me or not. I just wanted to let you know how sorry i am about Verna. That was a tragedy, and I hope you never have to endure that much emotional pain again. i cannot imagine what you're going through, but it must be something fierce. Verna was a beautiful person (on the inside and outside), and thats something i believe to be a very rare thing in this...

We are so sorry for your loss. We did not know Verna and we cannot imagine what you're going through, but we wanted you to know you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time of your lives. Renee Todd and Lou Zabelny

I met & worked with Verna for a short time many years ago here in Richmond. She was such a sweet girl & so pretty, definately left a lasting impression on me. To her family & friends, I am so sorry for your loss...it is obvious that she will be truly missed.

Dear Andrea, Mike and Michael,

Although it has been many, many years since I've seen Verna (when she was a little girl in fact!), truly the sentiments and memories shared by so many loved ones, friends and family members alike, have given me a glimpse of the beautiful, kind, loving young woman Verna had become. Surely she is one of God's precious angels . . .

Our deepest and heartfelt sympathy to you, Andrea and Mike, and your family. You have our friendship and...

To Verna's family and friends, I am so saddened for your loss. I only worked with Verna for a short time but I will never forget her beautiful smile and uplifting personality. She was truly beautiful inside and out and I know she is the most beautiful Angel in Heaven now. I will never forget her...her memory will always be with all of us until we see her again one day soon.

Mike, Andrea & Michael,
We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter. As others have written, we did not know Verna, but we knew you both and know how much you liked to speak of her and her life in VA. I am sure we will hear many more stories of her and her short precious life here on earth.
We love you guys, you are always in our thoughts & prayers.

Michael and Andrea,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this most difficult time.
