Vernel was a wonderful lady who always made me feel welcome and comfortable in her home. One funny memory that I have of her is that she ALWAYS had on a gorgeous necklace. When I would ask if I could have it, she would tell me "no" (of course!) and then tell me a sweet story behind it. I loved talking with her and know that one day I will able to do it again. She will be missed.
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I remember when Betsy and I were roommates in college in Conway and Mr. and Mrs. Schulte would have us over for dinner or let us come do our laundry at their house. They were always so fun and nice and she especially always gave us that little dose of home we needed. I know she will be greatly missed.
Please accept our condolences on the loss of your Mom. Our thoughts are with you during your time of loss. Please know that we are here for you. Love, Jayne Laughlin and kids
Debbie, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time.
I am so sorry for your loss! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
