We are so very sorry to see this. Love and prayers.

So sorry for your loss. Verde was always smiling and such a sweet lady. Hugs to all.

My grandmother was a wonderful and beautiful woman and I was privileged to be her oldest grand kid. Her life lessons and joy are something I carry with me still to this day.

Verda was my favorite Aunt and she always made you feel so special. She was a very sweet and special person. I will always remember the good times we had visiting her and Don when we were younger. It sadden me to hear of her passing. Deepest Sympathy..

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
