    I pray that God will bring peace and comfort to Vernie’s family at this sad time. Vernie was such a caring person. She was especially good to my grandmother, Helen. Heaven has welcomed an angel.
    With sympathy, Cindy Nordlund Fowler

    Laverne’s family,

    Laverne was my piano teacher for many years at her home in Richfield. I felt her kindness through her excellent teaching.
    May God grant you comfort, with sympathy, Betty Schuur
