Dear Jeri, Brian, Holly, and Greg,
I am so sorry to hear that Veda has passed. She always made me feel at home when your dad and I were kids. One of the things that will always remind me of her is pigs in a blanket and homemade icecream. Lin had an email from Barb Hurst that informed us she had passed and I am grateful that she did. Our thoughts and love go out to you. Veda was a wonderful woman and will be missed by many.
Love,
Lin and Rich

I am sorry to hear about Vada Gardner's death. My prayers are with you and your family. I know it is hard to loose a family member. I had just lost my brother Eldon Houghton on 25th of February.
