Carolyn, you are an amazing woman. You are so caring, loving, motivating, supporting, creative, and intelligent. I know many of these traits came from your Mom, Mrs. Veek. I am sorry with my entire heart that you are experiencing these hard times. I remember your parents at all those Shakey's fundraisers and with those letters on their attire! (: Thank you for your support Phi Sig Mom! Rest in peace Mrs. Veek and watch after your beautiful daughter please. <3 Blessings

We were very sorry to hear of the passing of Margaret Veek. We were grateful for the work Margaret and Andy did in helping people search for their family roots at the Torrance Family History Library. Both Margaret and Andy were such a wonderful couple and always willing to help others. We know she will be greatly missed by Andy, her children, and grand children. With our sympathy, Don and Marylin Hirst

Margaret, your laugh, your generosity, and your friendship will be missed so much. I remember all the backyard "picnics", the scrap-booking parties, and holiday get togethers. You made it all special. Thank you for being there when I needed another Mom. You will always be with us.

The only life worth living is one surrounded by love and friendship and spreading that to all those around you. From the moment we met I could see you loved all those around you. Thank you for all the words of wisdom on life, love and family, the craft and art filled afternoons, the advice on being a loving mommy to my kitty babies, and the motherly toned talks. I hope some day I will be every bit the wonderful mother and wife you were to your family. We will meet again some day. Until then, thank you for everything.

I remember one time I came to your house to visit, and I looking at you and your husband making fun of each other... and there was a moment you both looked at each other and you both just started laughing. It was at that moment where I wish I could one day have the love that both you and your husband shared. You are a wonderful wife to your husband, a loving mother to your children and baby kitties.. and I feel honored I got to meet you. Your family and friends will miss you, but God has been wanting to see you, and who would blame him... you have a great smile and a lovely laugh. We will you see you one day, but we will miss you until then. It was a pleasure to have met you.
