Dear all family members of Verna Hoopman,
My sister Twila and I, have fond memories of occasionally visiting your mother and father’s house on the southside of Sheboygan during our younger years. Our father Virgil Nonhof (wife Delores) was lifelong very proud of the Nonhof heritage including your mother Verna Nonhof.
We were saddened to learn of your mother Verna’s death, and our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Carl Nonhof
Twila Ashe (nea Nonhof)
