Darlene and family,
Difficult to believe that a man so full of life was so suddenly taken away from us. Verlyn was a man committed to his Lord and Savior. He used his leadership and "people" skills well in his work with SCR Church Council and the Evangelica Committee. Our prayers are with you and may God bless you as you celebrate his life, mourn his passing from this life, and allow his joining God's promised heavenly rest.

With love, Brian and Tracy Gorans

Darlene and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Phyllis and I grew up as classmates and best friends in Colton so I spent a lot of time at the Burgers family home. Verlyn was always a very kind "big brother". May God grant you his grace and peace, and surround you with his love as you lay him to rest and mourn for him in the days ahead.

Verlyn was a great friend while growing up. I remember playing pitch on the long bus rides, chasing jack rabbits after youth group, riding up and down the streets of Colton, which was what everyone did in the 60's, and playing football on Sunday afternoons.

I cherish my memories of Verlyn and wish of offer condolences to the family. He was taken much too soon, and my heart goes out to those who had unfulfilled plans, wishes, hugs, and fellowship.

Darlene and family,
My heart goes out to you.. Verlyn was way too young to lose.. I always loved to see his smile come into Airfield, knowing we also had the connection to Edgerton. I know the Lord will sustain you through these days, months and years of grief, but know also that my prayers are with you and if you should need a shoulder to lean on, know I am near.
