Jack & Family, We wish to express our condolences to you and your family on the loss of dear Verna. She was a wonderful lady, so kind and giving. It is hard to let go but she is in a better place with no pain and with family and friends. You are in our prayers and may God give you strength and support in the days ahead.

My sympathies are with the family of Verna. It is not easy to lose someone we love in death. Jesus said in John 5:28 "the hour is coming in which all those in the graves will hear my voice and come out."
