I remember seeing her when I would go visit my mom who was at Countryside following hip replacement surgery. She was a very sweet lady - always had a smile on her face. God Bless and hugs to the entire family.

Rydecki Family, I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. When my mom was at Countryside, they were together often, reminiscing about the "good ole days". One time, they were having dinner, and laughing like young teenagers, talking about going out and dancing and not knowing who paid for their dinner. I'm glad they had each other at that time. When they were together, they both had smiles, ear to ear. Rest in peace Mrs. Rydecki.

I will never forget and always be grateful for how she cared for my dad when he was in a coma. She was faithfully there during the day when we were unable to because of work, leaving us notes about how things went. What a blessing she was. She is at peace with Jesus her savior and for that I rejoice!! Love to all. Maria Kahler

Thank you so much for sharing all those memories! I have known your mom for so many years ❤ from Maple Grove Bible church as a young girl, First Baptist Church, as a bus driver for my kids! So many great memories of her and then being beyond blessed to care for her while she was in the nursing home with her dementia. She was still like a ray of sunshine 🌞 every day and loved by all the staff. I am so very sorry for your loss but I know she is with God singing praises right now ❤ love you Rydecki family

Linda, I was so saddened to hear about your mother's passing last week. I will be thinking of you this morning as you celebrate LaVerta's life. I wish I could be there today, but have already shed a few tears after watching the beautiful tribute video. Though I have never had the pleasure of meeting her, I have heard a lot of wonder things about her from Hayden. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
