My sweet and best friend Verna, I can't believe its been that long since you left us. Verna was a great friend that I worked with and car pooled every day at FNBC. I truly miss our daily laughs and my ride in with Mrs. Heidi and our mini vacations with Angela. Love and miss you.

Life is such a vapor. Verna was such a nice lady. Worked with her at Hibernia and Capital One. So glad I was able to see her when she came to Houston a couple of years ago. Praying for the family.

My deepest sympathies. Verna was a special person, she could always make you laugh. I worked with her for a short time and became good friends. I will truly miss her.

My sympathies go out to Verna's family. Verna was always so sweet. I have fond memories of my fellow Redemptorist classmate.

I'm very sorry to hear that Verna has passed away. She and I went all through school together, and I considered her one of my best friends. In the years since then we lost touch, but I have always thought of her with great fondness.
