Not sure what to say?

A great woman who served as one of my mentors. Thank you.

Her legacy lives on in the people's lives she touched. There is not a day that goes by that I don't remember her and her words of encouragement.

Sometimes there are people that become special to us in a short time and touch our lives and hearts in some way that will make a lasting impression on us. You Veva was that kind of person. Some of our heart to heart talks will be remembered for the rest of my life. You were such a dynamo and so loved people in a special way that only you could do. Miss you and treasure always the friendship we had.

She was my best therapist.
She helped me to put all my identities together, Jewish Black and Lesbian.
May her memory be a blessing.

I was the first year medical student when 2 parents suddenly died , Dr. Zimmerman was my chief human comforter , she was like part of my holy trinity with God and Jesus ! All I can do is pay it forward in her spirit. without Veva I had no human shoulder , to shoulder my weakness. After talking to our mutual friend , I felt her touch my life again. Thank you Veva . bless her family of loved ones .

When I knew Veva she was in Sheffield, VT. She was a significant personable person. Majoring in my studies of Psychology she helped bring to life some of my training. We were able to visit and share many aspects of our lives. Such a memorable time and friendship. Veva RIP

We were neighbors on 111 Street while David and Veva's boys were just being born and growing up and I was between marriages, and kind of lost and depressed. I'd wander upstairs and the welcome mat and the bourbon were always there and we'd just have fun conversations and nothing was ever mentioned about my state of mind. We just hung out and I'd feel a bit better. That's one of the many things I've felt grateful for in knowing this wonderful family.

I met Veva at a very difficult time in my life, and she was instrumental in getting me back into shape. Her attention and dedication to my well-being set the positive course which I'm currently on... My heart stopped a beat when I heard the news; her warm spirit lives on in me.
