Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I was sad to learn of her passing. I’ll always remember her.
We invited Varlene to our wedding back in 1999, and although she could not make it, we’ve stayed in touch – through Christmas cards and letters and the occasional e-mail. It was great to get to know her through her wonderful letters. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead. Danielle and Ryan Fish (godson)
