I have a picture of Sofie , me, and Ramona for you. They are getting so big so fast. I wish you could still be here with us. I know they only knew your a short time while they were still very little. But Sofie says she loves the backpack you gave her, and wishes you were still here to get her more things. She only like the things you get for her. It´s too cute. Ramona is seven already and she is quite the cutie. We love you Tutu. Rest in peace.

I grew up with Verla, same church, same schools. Always a fun loving girl and she would always be the first to greet you at a high school reunion held every 5 years. She will be missed by many. Rest in peace, Verla.

Vera helped teach me the ropes of volunteering at The Long Center and she was definitely one of the most faithful of volunteers.
I've missed seeing her since she got sick.

Verla Mae was one of my best friends at Hastings High class of 57. After graduation we both ended up working for airlines. She with Braniff and I worked as a stewardess for Northwest. We reunited at class reunions in Hastings, MN. Oh do I have great memories of her. Stay strong family of Verla.

Verla was one of my fellow ushers at the Long Center. Was happy when we worked the same event.
She was always helpful when there was a change in
the normal routine. Verla was always there early and a great funny greeter when we arrived.
We and I will miss her.

Always enjoyed working with Verla at the Long Center. She had a "dry" sense of humor and was always ready to "get going." She will be missed.

I was always happy to see that I would be working with Verla at the theater. Besides the fact that she was always on the ball meeting the needs of patrons she had a wonderful sense of humor. I will miss her.

Very sorry to hear about Verla's passing. I always enjoyed working with her at The Long Center. She had a great, dry sense of humor and she always made me laugh when I needed it most.

What a sad note to hear of Verla's passing. She was an usher us House Managers always depended on due to her common sense and wit. My condolences to her family.
