What a great lady, wonderful mother,sister and aunt. While we didn't get to see each other often always cherished the times we were together My condolences to my cousins Jeff,Elaine, and Louise and Aunts Brenda and Barbara. You all are in our prayers
We are so sorry for your loss. We live across the road and met her a few times before she moved from there. We so loved seeing the happy looking yellow house. The flowers were always so beautiful all around the home. Wishing your family comfort in this time of remembrance.
My heartfelt sympathies for Velma's family. She and I had become great friends and I will miss her dearly. I remember visiting with the family at Christmas, and how much I enjoyed it. I was just down the hall from her at Woodland Heights, and I'm the one to whom she gave her white patio furniture. Thinking of you all.
Sincerely,
Maurine Hale
