I will always remember when my brother and I were little, Aunt Veva would always tell us we were precious (Aunt Grace used that phrase quite often too) & was always asking our Nana & Papa "how are those kiddies", she made me laugh!

VEVA WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUNTS. SHE LOVED TO GET MY LETTERS FROM FLORIDA. WOULD ALWAYS BE CONCERNED IF I WAS WELL. WE LOVED HER DEARLY.
