Well Gran it has been just about a year and I think of you daily. I swear that you are watching over and I sense you watching. I love you so much and miss you everyday. I have pulled the weeds from your patio, so you dont have to look at it and have the weeds bug you. I will toast to you on Thanksgiving. We all love you Gran

Vera, you were an inspiration to everyone. I will always remember how you made Julie smile when you went to visit her, and take care of her puppy Miss Lilly when she went to work. You will be sadly missed.

Vera, I thank God for your faithful example of kindness and generosity; and will always think of you as my spiritual mother, the one who led me to Jesus.
