Having passed through the grade schools also two years of high schools and entered the business world holding a position with the Western Union Telegraph Co. in St Louis, MO of which we were very glad. Verona was a loving and obedient child always sharing our family burdens and sharing them with a smile and during the darkest hours you could always see that sweet smile saying cheer up the darkest hour is just before the dawn. Always having a word of comfort for everyone, was a faithful attendant of the Baptist Sunday School and church of which is based upon the principals of God's Holy Word and we rest assured that her soul is safe beyond that veil of tears which will never know no sorrow, death can never enter there. Verona leaves behind a father, mother sister, two grandmothers, a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss, but never- theless our loss is her eternal gain. Then we remember that God said in his words take upon thee my yoke. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light and you shall find rest to your soul and we rest assured that Verona always shared her share of the burdens. Sadly missed by her father, mother and sister. ------------------------------------------------------------------ USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organiza- tions or persons.
