Covid changed everything..remembering days in virgin river casino, New Year’s Eve dinner at my house.. the cabin and hunting .. very knew every rd, lake and tree in the cabin area. He will be missed by many ..
But now in peace..
Dear Joan, Kim, Chad and Dion, I will always be thankful for LaVerl's help with the cabin after dad passed. He was so insistent that I was successful and taking care of things and offering help. Mom and Dad were very fond of all of you and I do miss our time at the cabin. I will always remember LaVerl yelling out to dad "how you doin Unc"!
I am grateful to have known him, and peace be with all of you.
With love and condolences
James
Dearest Joan and family,
My heart aches for you and your wonderful family!
I loved Verl- he was one of the "good guys".
Courtney, Byron and Alex have some great memories of our many "visits" to your cabin.
I hope the wonderful memories of your sweet husband will help you carry on.
Mom, Dad and Verl are probably enjoying the reunion.
Love,
Chris
