"Vernie" came to our class at MHS as a freshman or thereabouts. She was always ready for fun and a bit of mischief, while having a heart of gold. So many of us wished that she would have attended our class reunions, but we're so grateful to see all the photos that your family posted, bc we can see that she was just as smiley (w/a beautiful smile) and warm all her life as she was -when she was w/us. Your pix also help us to know a little bit more about her life before and after her time w/us.
She was obviously surrounded by loving family and I'm sure that she returned that love.
Our condolences to all who loved and knew her well.
Sincere sympathy to the family and may Vernie rest in peace.

Verna, & I have been friends for a long time. We go back to the 1960's, when we were all good neighbors at the PA canyon. She was a fun, loving, person. She always had a smile & a Hi! when we met. She will be missed, along with her brother Charlie, & their parents.
