Verna was one of the first Bezanson Ladies that I got to know when they threw a Wedding shower for myself and my husband Larry Patterson in 1980. She was such a beautiful person and I love your spirit. Thanks Verna for making me feel like part of Bezanson community all those years ago.

Auntie Verna was a one of a kind lady, beautiful both inside and out. She had a heart of gold and was always there, ready to lend a hand or have tea and a visit. She loved and was loved by all the family and the Bezanson community. There are many great memories from growing up near Auntie Verna and Uncle Gordon. Joann and Janet, love to you and your families from Anne
