Hello. My name is Jeanie Mathie. My mother, Marie Alkema was wonderful friends with Verles mother Ada.
While i did not know Verle, I knew Ada and enjoyed spending time with her and mom while they'd laugh the afternoon away.
I am sorry for your loss, but hope you enjoy her memory the way I enjoy Adas.
I loved your mom. I worked with her at Canyon View. We were both paraecucators in Alternative Kindergarten and spent lots of time together on the playground watching the kids. She was so proud of her children. I always knew what was going on in Bruce’s life, and also Nancy’s. She was so proud of her grandchildren. She especially thought Cathy was such a blessing, and told me that is what kept her young. She was one of the kindest, most gentle people I have ever known. To her, family was everything. She also really loved your dad. She was very proud of the LDS church and it was a big part of her life but it didn’t matter to her that I was not Mormon she liked me for who I was. She changed many little special needs kids lives. I always wanted to be a kind, nonjudgmental, loving person, just like your mom. I am sure you are all devastated but just know she was a wonderful person and I will never forget her.
