Dave and Carol Mason We were saddened to read that Verna has passed away. She was our childrens’ babysitter when we lived next door at 2045 Haidey Terr. She was a delight – full of enthusiasm for her “job”; reliable and thoughtful. We felt so fortunate to know her; confident in her abilities. Our sincere condolences Don & Peter. Also on the loss of Bon that we did not know about. Dave, Carol, Dianne & Jeff Mason

Jack and I send our very sincere condolences to all of you at this sad time. Wish we could be there with you, but that is not possible at this time. Very sorry for your loss, Verna was a real gem.

Betty (MacDonald)) Petchnick May God be your comfort and strength through this time of loss.
I had the privilege of babysitting Verna when you lived on the corner of 9th Avenue and Douglas Street in Kamloops. At that time, she was challenging you: her independence versus potty training. She was pretty determined!
With heartfelt condolences,
Betty (MacDonald…sister of Neil and Ruth) Petchnick
Worked with Bonalin at Saanich Peninsula Hospital; she was so devoted to her family. Just learning of her passing, nine years later. My deepest condolences to spouse and family on the loss of both members.
