Velma Louise Hall

It is with deep sadness that my dear cousin, Velma, has gone ahead of us, but I´m confident that she continues to brighten every life she touches. I was unable to attend the service either in person or online, but I was with you all in spirit. Her sweetness touched so many, and it´s clear that she was deeply loved.

They are all missed so much but I know they are all...
