I am heartbroken with the news of Vaneta’s passing. She was a great friend for 55 years and I will miss her very much. I wish I could be with all of you at this time, you will be in my heart and prayers.
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your dear loved one. Take comfort in knowing that our heavenly Creator will soon remove all pain, sorrow, and death forever! May this promise as recorded in Revelation 21:3,4 be of comfort to you as you gain the strength and inner peace to cope with the days ahead. Philippians 4:13.
Jim,Angie and Andy,
We will always remember Vaneta as a friend who was a very
“special” person. Her always present smile and twinkle in her
eyes will always remain with us. May our Lord give you the
strength and comfort of knowing that she is with Him now and
will suffer no longer. May He bless all who’s lives she has touched.
Jim & family, Arden & family
So sorry to hear we have lost Vaneta. I have many wonderful memories like the countless hours we spent on her swingset, riding bikes round and round the house, playing hide and seek and red rover. Wanting to pick cherry’s from the tree out front but still to short to reach them. The badminton games and can’t forget those baby dolls. I still don’t know where “EE” come from. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Jimmy, Angie, and Andy,
We are saddened and heartbroken over your loss. I’m sure you know God has said “Welcome home My child. Well done thy good and faithful servant.” She touched many lives while she was here, and we were all blessed to have her in our lives. You all will be our thoughts and prayers now and in the months to come. She will be missed. Love you all. Matt and Renee Henline
Arden, Nancy, and Pratt family,
Both my wife Marie and I are so deeply sorry for loss of your
love one Vaneta. I always turn to the
Psalms when I am in need.
I came across Psalm 91: Be with me, Lord. “Be with me, Lord;
be with me, Lord, when I am in trouble and needâ€. “How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord God
of Hosts†Psalm 84.
Our Prayers and thoughts are with you Arden, Nancy, and withthe family.

God Bless All of You! I remember my cousin Vaneta as a small girl going to Grandma’s house and having our family reunions! What fun that was! I will always remember her as that bright eyed, very sweet, smiley girl that was always so happy to see everyone! I know she is smiling and laughing in heaven right now! I pray that each of you will hold your memories close as I will of your dear loved one!
Jim & family,
I’m so sorry to hear of Vaneta’s passing.
Even though we’ve only known your family a short time, you’re truly a special family. May God bless you and keep your family close in your time of sorrow.
Respectfully,
Terry & Rebecca Wylie
