I was sad to see Velma’s obituary in this weeks Gunnison Gazett. I only new Velma a few years while she and her husband lived here. She was always a joy to be around. She welcomed me into her home and taught me how to make keylime pie. Mine neaver turned out like hers. I have missed her since she moved to FL. Velma you were a beautiful lady and I will always remember you! Thoughts and love to your family~

We are so sorry for your loss. May the ‘God of all comfort’ comfort you and your family. At 1 Corinthians 15:26 the Bible promises that ‘Death will be brought to nothing’. We cannot wait for that promise to be fulfilled in the near future. Sincerely, Gracin.
