My deepest symphathy’s to the entire family. Verna was one of the best things about working for McDevitt & Street 28 years ago. I missed her when she retired a few years back and I know you will miss her dearly every day.
I am so sorry…..

There’s a special place in all of our hearts for our mothers, just like there’s a special place in every mother’s heart for her children. You must continue to carry her memory in that special place in your heart. I am sincerely sorry for the loss of your mother.

Dear Howell family, I am sorry for your pain, and loss. You can find real comfort in what God has promised, such as in John 5:28,29 -He promises that he is going to resurrect all those who have ever died, back to life again here on earth. And all the things that cause us sorrow, pain, and even death, will be gone forever. You can read about this in Revelation 21:3,4, and 1 Corinthians 15:26. To learn more about God’s promises, go to JW.org.
