I have many good memories of time spent with Verleen. My father Keith Hooke was very close to his cousin Harold Spady and of course also to Verleen. Verleen was always so welcoming to all of us, even though we were a crowd: Keith, Margaret and the 6 Hooke kids! I have so many good memories of going to the ranch and watching Harold with the racehorses and attempting to ride a horse myself. Definitely a city girl, I enjoyed having the chance to stay with the Spadys for a few overnight visits. I loved spending time with Verleen who I always thought was so beautiful, talented and kind. She made me feel so welcome. I will treasure my memories of her and I would like to express our deepest condolences to Jack, Travis, Brian and all the rest of the Spady clan.
