Veronica "Vonnie" Speer

Dearest Speer Family,

I was saddened to hear that my precious friend Veronica passed away. We met in BSF many years ago. She loved the Lord and her precious family. We will keep you in our prayers.

Sometimes you don't realize a rare person when you meet them; but 'Grandma' (inside joke) Vonnie was that rarest of persons. In knowing her it seemed you knew her for a lifetime. Her sense of humor, able to get the subtlest jokes. She immediately 'got' the new land of El Soblando and understood the suaveness of being one of the El Soblandoans. I know she was very very proud of Jo (such a loving a silly daughter) and the kids. And I'm sure that she thanked God that such a great guy like...

What a sweet servant of the Lord she was on this earth, and a dear friend. I will miss her and her great sense of humor, her laugh, and her caring, gentle soul. What joy to know she will have no more pain, no more sorrow, in heaven with Jesus! Bless her for her friendship, and for teaching the Bible to all the little children in BSF, including my own grandchildren.

I was blessed to have lunch with Vonnie two weeks ago. We went to grammar school together and stayed friends through high school. I will miss her. Sending prayers to all her family. Ree Ann Wyly

Although much time has passed since last seeing her, I have very fond memories of Vonnie -- always so very kind and patient. I am very saddened by her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
