So sorry to hear of Verna's passing. We will always remember breakfasts on Saturdays at the service station. More importantly we appreciated her sage advice and help when we were raising our teenagers. We still miss Howard and ring his cow bell on his belt. Certainly he will be there to greet her with open arms. - Posted by: Grant and Valerie Rerir (f riends) on: Dec 27, 2012
