Howard & Milton,
Sorry to hear of Aunt Verna's passing. I have a fond memory of when she and Tommy came to visit us on the farm in Minnesota when I was young. I thought they were the sweetest Aunt & Uncle I could have. Although we lived far apart, she was always in my heart. She will be greatly missed. Love to you, Cousin Barbara and Family.

Howard and Milton,
I was so sad to hear of the passing of your sweet mother. I so much enjoyed the time that my family and I got to vist with Aunt Verna and Uncle Tommy both in Tacaoma Park and in Delano/Minneapolis. MN Your parents were very special people to us and we always kept them in our hearts. Uncle Milton said he could not got to the funeral and we know he is sad about that. We will be seeing him soon tho' and will offer condolences in person. Wish we could be there for you as well, but with the use of technology at least we can offer our support this way. Love to you both, Cousin Vicki and Family
