Thinking of Veronica tonight. My sweetheart Saxy Joe looked up her obituary and the first thing I saw was an entry by Erin Powers this year! I was thinking of the Course in Miracles and feeling Veronica´s love all around me. I know she had something to do with bringing Joe and I together. Erin Ton Rob and Kenny...I don´t know how to get in touch with any of you. I am Joaner Garrett on FB and Joaner Sings on Gmail. Please get in touch if you see this! I feel Veronica´s love all around and always will. I miss you my friend

It´s NYE 2025 and having just heard FS singing "Young at Heart" I find myself lovingly remembering Veronica... who OFTEN broke into song with the refrain "and if You should survive to 105... think of all you´ll derive out of being alive ... I fully wished & believed that VLK was going to survive to 105...
And so she has!
VLK would have been 105 by now... and she still vibrantly LIVES in my heart & memory. I recall that she would confide to me that ( as a "Mom" ) she had been grooming her son for the Presidency ...I think the day has come & he should prepare to run... I hope any friends of VLK that MIGHT see this... will encourage him. We need the opportunity to be able to vote for intelligence & strong moral character for our future President.
Sincerely,
Erin P.
