Verna, although it’s been many years since we’ve been in contact I was saddened to hear of Con’s passing. You and Con were always kind to me as I started out my career and I am grateful for that. My thoughts and condolences are with you.
Verna, we are so sorry to hear of Conrad’s passing. Although it has been forever since we’ve been in touch I remember both of you as being such a generous and gracious couple. Con was a such a kind gentleman and was the first to tell me about the “honey-do” jar. Our deepest condolences and thoughts are with you and the family at this most difficult time.
