Rev Douglas and Sue Wilson dit :

We were in Lacolle 1968-71 and got to know Verena and Rudy and some of the kids at that time. I remember a wonderful party at their house just before we left. We have very fond memories of our time in Lacolle and particularly because of Rudy and Verena. We can only imagine how much she will be missed by the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Please know that you are all in our prayers at this time.

John Matheson dit :

My sympathy to all who now Verena. We first met in June 1971 and I have always treasured her smile and her grace. We last met in church in Hemmingford in March after not having seen each other for a long time and it was as if there had been no gap at all. She was full of smiles and warmth as always and humour too. “Imagine that I am still here after all these years” she said. I told her that I would be surprised if she wasn’t here and for me she will always be in my heart and memory… a precious person.

May she remain forever in your hearts and may your wonderful memories of her help ease the pain of your grief.

With all my heart I am so sorry for your loss.
