Elkhorn, NE Friday, December 28, 2018 Karen, Bob and family. I am so deeply sorry to hear the passing of Verna. I remember her as such a loving, caring and kind person. She always welcomed us teen girls for slumber parties out at the farm. During her many years on this earth she saw many changes and now she can be with her loved ones that left before her time came. Wishing you all of God's Blessings. So deeply sorrySharon Petrie
