Dearest Gadient family,
Prayers and memories of your mom, grandma are filled with joy and a little sadness. Velva was always ready to help out on any occasion and brought much to a gathering. I remember with sadness her trip down these last few years and now with joy knowing she is free and ETERNALLY happy. Edna bless you. I was planning on being with you today but got caught up in another person's dilemma. Fr, Jim Chappell and I send our prayers to all.
In Christ,
Toni Muller
Irv was one of Camp Courageous’ earliest board members and both Velva's sons, Gary and Jim served on the board too...but Velva was the dedicated hard working volunteer behind them all. Irv and I would be at a Convention in Des Moines in the middle of February for three days. At the end of February was the annual Prairieburg Dance, which was Irv’s big event. Because we were in Des Moines, Velva carried the load of this big event, and would go up and down main street selling tickets to the dance and raffle tickets. It was a huge success, because of Velva. She was also part of a flower garden group that planted flowers at camp during camp’s earliest years. And she often made goodies for the campers and staff. A good and caring lady, I'll always remember the above and beyond she constantly did for others...she leaves a beautiful legacy...
