So many beautiful memories shared over the years as cousins...we had just talked with each other a week before and laughed over our summer antics. One thing I did not know was that Veronica was born in Brooklyn as was I four years later. Our phone calls throughout the year will be so missed. Prayers going out for the family as ..."sometimes when one person is missing,
the whole world seems depopulated." Veronica will forever live in our hearts. Janet
