My family and I would like to offer our deepest sympathies to you and your family. We are so sorry for your loss. Please know that you are never alone. Turn to the Holy Scriptures for guidance and to help soothe your heart. Psalms 34:18 assures us that God is near to those broken at heart and crushed in spirit. Please accept our deepest sympathies.
To the family of Velma Drake: My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Velma was a great wife, mother, and grandmother and she and Glenn were an amazing couple. May she rest in peace. I have hundreds of great memories; so I'm sure you have thousands (or millions). There was nothing like having a great laugh will Velma at the ol' ballpark. I'm sorry I can't be there to share with all of you, but again she(and you) are in my prayers. And now she joins Glenn in heaven looking down and protecting. May God bless all of you at this sad time (but joyous time as you celebrate the awesome life of a very special person). Sincerely, Gary Kuntz 2719 Bristol Court, Augusta, KS 67010.
Our deepest condolences to your family.
So many good memories of Glen & Velma, at the ballparks and their home! She was my friend and I will always remember our good visits on the phone, after she moved to Springfield. Rest in peace, my friend!
