Fifteen years gone by in the wink of an eye. Verna, you and Ralph would absolutely LOVE the family who bought your home. They, too, have green thumbs and big hearts. Mandee was pregnant soon after they moved in, and now Leni is a handsome teen and Valentina is a lovely "pre-teen". After their last dog passed (they had two), the entire family has "adopted" Skeeter Gal for walks, play dates, beaches, and fun. And your bathroom counter/floor still is intact with your world coins. Still, Jim and I miss you both so much, but I know you are reunited with your love of women's ice skating and other unusual sporting events on TV, or whatever Heaven calls video these days. Say Hi to Mom, okay? (p.s. The Yudice compound next door, and Tree on the other side, are all happy, too.)

When Verna wrote out the moving tribute to my mom, her friend Ruth Lundy, and asked me to "type that into the computer, please," I knew that I would have to think long and hard to write something at least nearly as beautiful. I have failed. All I can say is that you are absolutely the woman I want to emulate. You loved your family and glowed with happiness whenever you spoke to Marjorie, Ron, or Carla (which was really quite often!). You loved your friends and especially appreciated Bill and Marilyn and their entire family coming for special occasions as well as "just to visit". You loved Jerry and Helen, and Helen Horne, and all of us "Lansdale/Hooper" friends. You just let your heart get bigger each time someone else came into your life, and for that I am eternally grateful. You were a good friend, a good woman, and a good gardner...and I'm going to miss you terribly. But, as long as you are there, will you say "hi" to Mom for me? Thanks!

Verna was an amazing woman and I was blessed to be her God-Daughter. Both she and Ralph were more my Grandparents than just Godparents and there is not a single important event or celebration in my life that I do not remember them being a part of. Verna was always graceful and independent, right to the end. She left us gracefully and on her own terms. As heartbroken as I am that she is gone, I am happy to know that she is with Ralph again, the love of her life. I will be forever thankful to her and will always love her with all my heart.
