Condolences
The family of Vera M. Mallan has received the following condolences.
Dear family,
It is so sad to read that Mrs. Mallan has passed away. May your memories of her as well as a hope of being reunited one day - John 5:28,29 - bring you the peace and comfort you need at this time.
I can't think of my childhood, growing up on the hill, without thinking of the Mallan family. I am so glad I got the chance to see your Mom the last time I was back home in Rochester. She will be missed.
To the Mallan family-- thoughts and prayers are with you all. Vera was one heck of a fine lady~one of a kind. Mike and Dawn Nelson
So sorry to hear about your mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Along with Vera, I am a member of a group of women from GSC who meet on Monday nights to study the Bible. Vera joined the group at 82 years young and promptly named us the Bible Babes. She was a most special member of the group because of her strong faith, loving heart and her quick wit. Vera was serious about doing her study but most of all she loved to laugh and hear the stories told in the group. She told a few good ones herself! I will miss her but I rejoice knowing she is free to laugh and love in heaven! Carol K
