Aunt Emma,

Verl was my favorite uncle just like Jerry said.  I still remember when Verl took Lance and I fishing on the Potomac River.  Someone caught a crab and it was crawling around in the boat and I thought I was going to crawl right out of the boat.  Someone also caught a Puffer fish and he said watch this.  He tickled it under it's stomach and it swelled up like a balloon.  I also loved your house in Vienna.  I could not believe you got about 10 channels on TV when we only got 2 in Pulaski.  It was fantastic.  I still remember the smell of the basement and leather furniture.  It also was the first time I had ever taken a shower.  I loved it more than a bath, but I did not like bathing anyway until high school.  Girls change your perspective you know.  We will see you as soon as we can Emma.  

Love you,

James and Jayne

Emma,
My thoughts and memories of Uncle Verl will be with me forever. Two of my earliest memories are of when you lived on Blair Road. Verl, Elwood and I would cross the road and railroad tracks to take the hunting dogs to chase rabbits.One time we put pennies on the railroad tracks to watch the train squash them. Another time my family was visiting you and a hail storm came up. The hail was as big as baseballs and Verl was worried that his car would get dented or the windows would  break. He put a paper bag on his head and went outside to put a blanket over the car while we sat on the porch. It was quite a sight to see Verl running down the steps to get to the car while holding his paper bag tophat with one hand and a blanket in the other. These are just two of many memories that I will never forget and always cherish.

Love,
Leon and Diana

Emma,
I can only echo what others say about you and Uncle Verl.  You both were amazing and always gave so much to the family. You took in several of us to live with you. Verl was always interesting to talk to. I still remember several decades ago he was the first to say to me that the environment would be a major issue of the future. And yes those wonderful fishing trips on the Potomac, Ocean City and last but not least those daily trips down to your local Indian Atlantic beach in FL. Your life may have not been perfect and it was pretty close to perfect from your relatives point of view. Looking forward to your 100 birthday party.

All of our Love,
Lance & Barb

Dear Emma,
Uncle Verl will be in my thoughts and memories forever. My earliest memories are of when you lived on Blair Road and Verl, Elwood and I would cross the road, railroad tracks and go into the woods with the hunting dogs to chase rabbits.  Once we put pennies on the railroad tracks so that the train would squash them.  Another time was visiting with my family during a hailstorm. The balls of hail were as big as baseballs and Verl was afraid they would break the windows in his car.  He put a paper bag on his head and took a blanket out to cover the car while we sat on the porch and watched him. I have too many memories to list.  May God bless and keep him near. 
Love,
Leon and Diana

Dear Aunt Emma,
May you find comfort from God during this time.  I've always looked at Verl and yourself as the perfect couple. You both are amazing, wonderful people, and thought of often. I'm so sorry for your loss Emma.  

Love you,
Wendy

Dear Emma,
Verl was a good man, and he was my favorite Uncle.  Although we didn't spend a lot of time together he was always good to me.  I'll never forget my fishing trip to the Chesapeake Bay with him.  I will never forget him, he will be missed. May the Lord comfort you in your time of grief and sadness.  I am sorry I am unable to attend his services. 

Love, Jerry.
