I will always remember my Aunt Verna as being very hospitable and kind, she had an aura of calmness and sensibility about her that was always a comfort to anyone in distress. I mostly remember the direct attention she would give to others, even when busy. She would listen with 100% attention, while at the same time looking you straight in the eye with that directiveness that let you know nothing was more important than you and what you were feeling. It was always fun to visit her house and play with my cousins and the dog, Whitey. I will remember her perseverance in difficult circumstances, and try to emulate her throughout the rest of my life. She will be missed by many, and her legacy will carry on through all who knew her. Rest in Peace, Aunt Verna.
Love, Niece RoseMarie (Cushman) Light
