I am so sorry for your loss. I always looked forward to the first of the month when I could stop and visit with her for a few minutes. I'll miss our monthly visits. She was such a nice lady, and a joy to visit with. Your family is in my prayers.

Verna Laird Naylor Cook Cleverly was my last living Laird cousin. Her mother, Rhoda Laird Naylor was my mother, Fidella Laird Snelgrove's sister.
Please accept our most sincere condolences in behalf of the entire Snelgrove family. We shared a wonderful legacy of the Laird Scottish blood. May the peace of the Holy Ghost abide with each of you until we reunite again as eternal families sealed by Heaven's powerful hand.
