Dianne Hayes wrote a sympathy message

“I remember going to visit Aunt Verna when I was little, the smell of dial soap always brings memories of her old farm house. When I was older my family and I would go to visit, ALWAYS we would end up in the woods cutting up fire wood!! We were cheap labor, but always got a good meal out of the deal. The best was the time we went to visit and she said there weren't any green beans left to pick, 4-5 5 gallon buckets later----. She will be missed. Sorry for your loss.”
