We at Blaire House we miss Vera. She was so good with the word games we played. Even when she was not feeling well, she would come down if she knew we were doing Hang Man or Jumbles. So very smart and sharp.

I join with you, Eileen, and our family in mourning Aunt Vera's death. My brothers' lives and mine were enriched by her kind, caring, and faithful example. With you in heart and spirit at this sad time.

I am saddly touched by the news that Vera has passed away. I fondly remember her friendship and Al as we were residing on Montrose St. May God bless her.
