Vern W. "Rusty" Clausen

Jody, Ginger and families,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I grew up 5 houses from you on East State Street back when we were really young and I knew most of you and I always thought your parents were very nice people. My heart goes out to all of you as I have lost both of my parents and it is so very heartbreaking. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. With sincere sympathy,

Jody, Ginger and families, My heart goes out to all of you for the loss of your father. I grew up on East State Street (5 houses from you) and used to play with Jody and Ginger, but I knew some of the rest of you and I always thought your parents were very nice people. I feel so bad for you all as I have lost both of my parents and it's so heartbreaking. I want you to know that I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. With sincere sympathy,

Ginger, Mindy and Family,

Rusty always loved to watch us girls play pool at the Willow and cheer us on! We will miss his cute smile and his kind words!! Rest in peace Rusty! You will be sadly missed by everyone that knows you! (From the Willow 1 Women's Pool Team in Mason City.)

Dad....if anyone deserves angel wings it would be you!!! Your heart of gold was shown to many many people and am proud to call you "Dad". I Love you for always and thank you for the wonderful family you left behind!!! Love Denise

So sorry to hear about Vern's passing, I got to know him when I worked at Burke's in Mason City and he was such a good man. He kept insisting on buying diapers for my twins after they were born! He will be sadly missed by many.

Tracy and family-
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you all.

I am so sorry to hear about Vern, he was such a nice man. I grew up next door to your family on North President while you guys lived there.

Grandpa, I am one of the fortunate few people in this world who's last words to their loved one is "I Love You!" and those three words mean everything to me now.

RIP Grandpa... you will be missed dearly. We love you!
