Ms. Ford, Penny & Family:

I am so sorry for your loss. I remeber when Penny and I were growing up how Vera would polk fun at us all the time. She was a fun loving person and I know that you will miss her.

She is in no more pain, through with the troubles of this world, now residing with the King in Glory. May you find all that you need in the comforting arms of Jesus.

Love Ya

My condolences to Vera's family, and friends. You are not alone in the loss of someone so dear, and precious. During this time of sorrow, may you find the same strength, and peace of mind Vera had. She drew her strength from the Lord, and was not afraid of the many battles she fought, or what the future brought. Rest In Peace Vera.
