My heart goes out to you all. She was a very special lady. I was honored to be a part of her life and be able to give back to her the time she spent with me years ago when we baked,canned, and did stuff together. She taught me so many things over the years. The most important was, unconditional love. Good bye, for now, Vernette. I will love and miss you always.Two Harbors, MN 06/06/2010 6:41 AM
