    Aunt Verna was always so kind and loving. I could see it in her eyes every time I saw her. From my very first memories of her from my youth all the way to these last years. Even as her memory faded, her sweet heart and that loving kindness in her eyes was just as strong and always the same!
    I love you Aunt Verna, miss you-

    Jerry Pawlowski
