Carolyn, J.C., Jerry, Judy, et al. I am so very sorry for your loss. Although I am miles away, I think of you often. I just want you to know that when I think of Aunt Verlon, I always think happy thoughts. As a little boy I remember her as always smiling or laughing; then as an adult it was the same. She obviously had a good and enjoyable life. We have lost that joy that was Verlon, Her memory will always make me smile.
