    Dear Velma's family, We are so sorry to hear of Velma's passing. We were blessed to have her play the organ for our wedding...47 years ago! She was always so sweet to us and we were always glad to see her. Although she had health struggles, especially in the last years, she kept going and going. She was an amazing lady. Love, Bob & Kathy Hudson
