I met Vera 33 years ago at the BPD, she was quite the character and a great teacher. I learned so much from her because there was pretty much nothing Vera didn't know about and she'd steer you in the right direction. I was just a kid myself then and now I'm looking forward in a few years towards my retirement and I have thought so much of Vera over the years and always will quote her when I'm talking to the "new kids," in work, there will never be another Vera. She was a love, and will be missed, my deepest sympathy to all her family and friends.

To Vera's Family and Friends,

Dan and I were very saddened to hear of Vera's death. She was truly one of a kind! Her contributions to the BPD were extraordinary, but we'll mostly remember her sincerity, her candor, her quick wit and her sly smile. Vera understood the meaning of true friendship and loyalty. We appreciate all she did for us and for so many others.

We regret that we're not there to express our sympathy in person but have arranged for the Garda Síochána (police) chaplain to say a Mass in Dublin.

To the all the relatives and legion of friends of Vera:

I was deeply saddened to learn of Vera's death but I know that God has a very special place for a person like her. I had the privilege of working with Vera for many years in Police Headquarters and I have to say she was one of the most pleasant and capable people in the employ of the city. No task was beyond her ability and tasks she always took with relish never trying to duck or avoid them as many others might.

I pray that God has met her at the Gates of Paradise, and as only an All-loving and All-forgiving father can do, He has put His arm around Vera's shoulders, given her a gentle hug while stating, "Vera, enter into your Father's House where there will be no more weeping or gnashing of teeth. Well done, My good and Faithful Servant."
My wife Barbars joins me in offering our sympathy and condolences to her family. May God Bless her always and may He always hold her in the palm of His hand.

What a wonderful, wonderful woman. She touched our lives in many ways. Her smile, good natured joking and willingness to help anyone will always be remembered. She was professional, proud stood out as a special person. Above all it was a pride to have known during my entire career. We have all lost a dear friend. But her memory will last forever.
