It was good to visit Verna a few months ago at her new home in Oak Park; we explained to the staff that we were first cousins-- the youngest Erickson cousin and the oldest. My condolences to all who miss her.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Verna through her best friend in life Ardelle Walski. She was a lovely and gracious lady. Ardelle has told me all the stories about them growing up together and all the trips they took. We will miss her.

I had the good fortune of working with Verna for the past year. I was her Power of Attorney, health advocate and I helped her with her bills/finances. I have rarely met a more lovely person than Verna. She was funny, caring and a genuinely a good person. I enjoyed listening to her stories about her life and already miss her greatly.

Always a wonderful visit. She surely will be missed.

You became my niece when I married your uncle Willard in 1964. I treasure our family connection. You and Willard were more like cousins and had great respect for one another. Now you can enjoy a family reunion with him once again. You will be missed here by many.
