I extend my deepest sympathy for your loss. Vernie will be greatly missed. She was a kind compassionate woman and a wonderful cook and homemaker as well. She always made me feel welcome from the first time I met her and Uncle Bill when R. G. introduced me when we first dating and then after we married. She will always hold a special place in my heart and Bill too. I have remarried after R.G.'s death. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
