Everyday I miss Danda more and more. I know we all die, and it was her time. But even knowing this, it is hard when it's someone you love so much. I will always remember her blue eyes, her laugh, and her loving, comforting hugs. And I will always miss her. I love you Danda.

I miss you mom. The world seems a smaller, darker place with out your beautiful blue eyes shining. The last year at home with you and dad were the best of my life. "I'd walk a mile, cry or smile for my mama and daddy"!

Verna was my sister, my friend, my confidant, my mentor, and often a partner in work and play. The world was a brighter place because she was in it. She will be greatly missed! My sincere thanks to all who have and continue to be so supportive of her and her family.

To all who have visited this site and sent cards, flowers, and wishes, Thank You. You all know how special Mom was and how much she is missed by all. To know that you share in our loss is comforting.

With sincere sympathy and heartfelt love to the family. Verna Lee was a wonderful friend and classmate. May God grant you comfort and peace in this time of great sorrow and loss.

To the Larkan Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. The Walker Family

I am so sorry for your loss. Freda Hinerman (Oak Park Baptist Church)
