Vera, I will miss playing cards with you, the joking around and watching your grandchildren (they'll be fine). You were great company. You may have left us in body, but your soul will always be part of us. I'm so glad I met and got to know you. I'll meet you in heaven one day, because I know that's were you're going. May God show you his internal love.

Remembering Vera and the fun times we had when you visited us in Omaha. The pinochle games we played from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM - with time out only for eating. I can't forget the one and only time you dealt me 100 aces - and then the next day I dealt you 100 aces. Vera, you were a good friend, and very good to my daughter. I remember you with my love and prayers.

Vera,
As sisters you and I have always shared something special. You were always there when I needed a friend. There was a time in my life when I couldn't forgive or forget somethings, but through your persistence and nagging, I finally listened and I thank you. You are truly my hero; losing you is a heartache. I not only lost you as a sister, I have lost my best friend. I love you dearly and you will always be the wind beneath my wings. Love you, Evelyn

Vera, You are missed greatly, but your memory will live on with the stories and memories you have created.
Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Vera, you will certainly be missed! I've so often wished I could have a sister as special as you've been to Evelyn and Marie. The Gormley humor will always be the best way to remember you.

Dear Fogell Boys and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I was very sad to hear about Vera's passing. It has been a long time since you all lived on Alabama Avenue but the memories never fade. She was a dear friend to Mom. She will sit beside the rest of the angels watching over all of us. She also made the best hamburger and rice.

Dearest Nephews: Danny,Dennis,David and Mark, Our deepest sympathies on the loss of your Mom,Vera. There is no greater bond than that between a mother and child. And that bond cannot be replaced. So then, is the loss of a parent also great. If she were here today we would tell her how pleased and proud we are of the four young men we call her sons.But she has started a new beginning...something new in the next place. And something tells us that she already knows about her four young men and is now spreading the word! Love Always, Auntie Linda and Uncle Richard

Vera was such a caring person with a heart of gold and a contagious spirit of kindness that touched anyone around her. The kids will remember the smooches and hugs, and the love she shared. Always a nice word or a comical nick that set Vera’s presence. She was a great person and we will remember her that way. We know she is in a better place now, with the angels. May she rest in peace.
We will miss you,
Paul, Paula, Cameron & Luke

What a special person, Vera! Never was I in her company when I didn't leave laughing~ her quick wit and candor unmatched. I am grateful to have been a part of Vera's friendship with my mother, Lola. Always entertained by reminiscing conversations; Faustina, The Spa, Prairie Avenue and St. Mary's Bay View Academy. God Bless You Vera. Your family will be in my prayers.
