So sorry to hear of Verdella's passing. We knew her and Russell for many years when they lived down the road from us on Highway U. Both Verdella and Russell worked at the town of Bradley's green box site off Tannery Road. No one messed with Verdella when she told them how recyclables were to be handled. Both of them would come to visit our draft horse, Hank, and his donkey buddy, Mathew, and would babysit them whenever we were out of town. We trusted them implicitly with their care. We shared garden stories, neighborhood gossip, and later in life - politics with Verdella. I thought of her often and did occasionally visit with her earlier at her Spirit Ave. apartment. A rare phone call usually extended for more than an hour's time. I am sorry that I didn't visit with her before her passing. She will be remembered fondly, with humor, and will be missed.
