Velda truly was a gem and will be missed. I'll always remember her little sayings and quotes as well as her wonderful green thumb.

Velda and Glen became our neighbors shortly after we moved into Jerome. What wonderful people they both were. Velda would always take our oldest son for walks through her garden. To this day, he still talks about Velda. She will be sadly missed and will always have a special place in our hearts.
