This is Karamat, an old neighbor of Gaylord and Verna. I would like to pass my condolences on the demise of Verna. I tried to conduct Gaylord at his phone and Email address but could not reach him. I will remember Verna's soul in my heart. May she rest in peace.
Dear Don, Heidi, Lyle, Pam, and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Verna. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Jeff and Wendy Herrick
Deep sympathy to the Scandrett family on Verna's passing. May your good memories give you peace.
I was saddened to hear of Verna's passing. The Scandrett family are special people. Gaylord and Verna were good friends of my parents and I was a fortunate benefactor of that relationship. Sincere condolences, prayers, and fond memories to the Scandrett family.
When I lived on Village Drive my children loved to go to Verna's house to help her make birthday cakes. We had some great birthday cakes and a wedding cake made by her also. She was a great neighbor and friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
