Verva was an inspiration to many. She blessed my heart in more than one way! She was a joy to be around. She is not suffering anymore! I know she is with Jesus! Praying for all that loved her!
I'll miss your visits to medical records
You are going to be truly missed. Your smile each morning. Bringing up candy some days. You really made my day with that smile.
You will be missed because you were loved by so many
Verva was our friend and we have never met a more kind and gentle person. She was an inspiration to all that knew her. She knew her Heavenly Father and now she is home with Him.
I met this sweet lady while I was having Chemo treatments a couple of years ago. Everyone loved her and she always had a smile on her face I know that smile is even bigger now that she is with Jesus.
God bless all the familly
Ms. Verva's smiling face will be missed by so many. She was a very special lady to all of us in Radiology.

Aunt Dean it was a blessing to have been a part of knowing a sweet person who never forgot a birthday and who actually wrote letters. Much love.
Rest in peace dear cousin. Wendell and I always saw Verva in
the waiting room at the hospital. She always took the time to visit with Wendell. Verva stayed with Dorsie and Alma when she taught school at Chimes. Prayers of comfort to the family.
Rest in Peace, my dear sweet cousin. I thank God each day for placing you in my life. Your sweetness, kindness, generosity and loving spirit has always been an inspiration to me. You will be missed, but I know you are exactly where you wanted to be and that is with your dear sister and parents. Love you and will miss you always.
