Very sorry to hear of Mrs. Varni’s passing. She was a wonderful woman and always kind to me on my many visits to the house. She appears to have lived a wonderful life and though you will all miss her, she is now with Mr. Varni in Heaven, once again.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
