I am so sorry for your loss. My dad, Mitchell Kitchings, and stepmom were residents of Colonial Oaks and I would always have to get a hug and hello from Verna when I visited. She was a wonderful lady with the most beautiful smile! Always had a positive spirit and always stopped by dad’s table to be sure he was behaving. They were friends. She will be missed.
