I will always remember Verla. I worked with her at Korum for about 4 very significant years of my life. In the breakroom over coffee, she used to ask me about my life and told me many stories about hers, especially her days in CA. And then there were the times Verla and I would show up to work with the same hairstyle. It was unplanned, and I was quite a bit younger which made it even funnier. She told me that if only I put lipstick on, we'd be twins. I loved the quirky things she'd say sometimes. I'll also never forget the day she helped me sneak my 80-lb dog into the office for a quick visit. She did love animals! And she was probably the most un-lazy person I've ever met--juggling 2-3 jobs, taking care of her mother and participating in many other enriching events. She will continue to inspire me in that way. Verla, may you sing and dance forever in heaven.
