Verna Shrout

It's been a long year and today is filled with floods of memories, the good the bad, the happy and the sad. I try to celebrate your life in some small way everyday, but this lifetime of memories is bittersweet. Just as they bring a smile to my face they touch my heart and remind me that we will make no new ones and that makes me cherish the ones I have even more.
Love you n miss you

Everytime I see a flower looking up towards the sky with a smile...I know the're smiling at you.I can't believe it's been a year...I don't miss you any less than I did then and I know Steve misses you more than he will ever say...we talk about you often and think about you always.I look at your face everyday at work and just remember....I just miss you lady.

I just wanted to say my heart goes out to all of you this Mother's Day. I know it will be a sad day and I will be here to help my brother Steve get through it.
Happy Mother's Day to you in heaven Verna. When I see a bright and beautiful new bloom in a garden, I know that's you displaying a warm smile letting your family know that you are still around them.

Here we are Big V. Spring is here in full force and as I see the flowers come up and show their glory, I think about the joy they bring to you. I hope you can see them through my eyes and enjoy them with me. Wish we could do it one more time in person. Love you.

It's Springtime, Aunt Verna. The sun is shining and the bulbs are blooming. As always, the combination makes me think of you.
I just spent a couple hours in Ithaca. Wish you'd been there for a visit.
Love you!

Just thinking about you and all your beautiful flowers,it warms me while we're here in the dead of winter when I think about the gardens at your house in the summertime.......miss you Verna.I think about you all the time.

A lovely Mass was said for you at our St. Patrick's Parish this morning and Mike and I brought up the gifts. It was lovely. I really miss you. Whenever I see pretty birds or photos of them, I think of you and how we went birding and you taught me to appreciate the different birds and recogize them. I used to send you articles about birds that were in our newspaper. I feel sad now when I read them and I can no longer send them to you.

One night I was feeling very sad that I hadn't...

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Shrout family. I didn't get a chance to meet Verna but I know I would have loved her as I do my new brother Steve. May all the cherished memories and the everlasting love you have for her carry you through when you are feeling down. Always remember that she will never be gone as long as she is in your heart and soul. Love to you all from Jennifer & Mento

Happy New Year. Just missing our talks about the biz that we always had about this time of year. Got Gina a digi picture frame and you'll always be famous in it. Miss you a lot.
