Much sadness today when I realized I hadn't seen Vera walking the dog. Jack, when I saw you today I had no idea until I looked for this. Vera was such a great lady. She always took time out to ask how Alexandria was doing. She will be very missed! If you need anything Jack I am here for you. 860-918-6303. ANYTHING! Much love, Mindy and Alexandria Maynard
