Mrs Romuk was a long standing family friend and one of the strongest patriots supporting BelaRus and BelaRus causes in the Chicagoland area as well as in the expatriat community in North America and Canada.. She came from the same town in BelaRus as my Mother did and I have pictures of her with my Mother and Mrs Romuk with her accordion.
My wife Olga (Pup) and I remember her and her deceased husband appearing and working tirelessly for causes, exhibitions and recitals.
She will be missed but her memory will be eternal.
Our condolences to her family.

Vechnaya Paymat.

I will miss her wonderful laugh.
I will miss her red lipstick.
I will miss her cooking.
I will miss her awesome writing.
Most of all, I will miss her!

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I so appreciate the honor of being one of Vera's dancers. I know how proud she was of the dancers while performing and representing her beloved Belarus.

My thanks and blessings to her and all of you in her family.
