“So sorry for your loss. Verlena and I attended Southwest Baptist College and had many adventures. I especially remember our rides back to Rolla. And we would talked about our children and grandkids. And should have done more. She loved you ! Just give this tough time to Jesus. He knows how to get you through this situation and in the days ahead. I do need to tell you a funny. About 4 years ago, I got a video chat from Verlena and I answered. But we didn't know how we did it. We had fun”
