Very special friend to my parents and me. We have known Vernell over 70 years. I just found out today about her passing away. I will miss our long talks about my parents and her special Nick and daughters and granddaughter. She is now with her beloved Nick.

We send our love and sympathy to all of you and will keep praying for you. She was one of the five surviving first cousins left from the old gang. We have fond memories of the good old days down at the cottage and the times as children at grandma and grandpa Dunstan, when we used to have the family get togethers. We will always treasure those good old days that are gone forever. Love you!
