Jim & I were so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. You have our sympathy
I have many sweet memories of my times with the Van Meter family. I was always amazed that a home could be so busy and seemingly chaotic and yet run so smoothly. Alvena was at the center of that home, organizing all the activities with such grace. She was a grand lady with a generous heart. I’m so glad to have known her.
It was with sadness that we received Jenny's phone message on July 29 with news of the death of Alvena. That word was shared with the Mount Cross congregation during worship and Alvena and your family were included in the Prayers of Intercession. We extend condolences to each of you upon this loss, even as we give thanks to our Lord for her life and witness. May the Lord give you peace and comfort now and in the days to come. We join you in rejoicing that Alvena's faith in Jesus was strong. May light eternal shine upon her!

So sorry for your loss. Aleena was a gracious, kind, happy person. She and her husband, Dr. VanMeter welcomed a new veterinarian, me, to the veterinary community over 50 years ago. My husband and I are truly grateful for their friendship over the years. Our prayers are with you all, Nancy and Dennis Noak
My heart aches when I think of your loss. Alvena was a lovely, gracious lady and I know you will miss her. May God grant you strength, comfort and peace. You will be in my prayers.

So sorry Jenny, Paul & family of the loss of Alvena. Your mom was so very blessed to have such loving daughters & family to watch over & care for her! She will be missed! You are all in our thoughts and prayers now 🙏🏼✝️️💗
