Vera and Gilbert were wonderful people.
I got to know them when they moved to Touchmark.
Vera was a very kind person with a wonderful smile .
She will be very happy to reunite with Gilbert in heaven.

Grandma I know we didn’t keep in touch much being in AZ but the small memories I have will cherish forever. I know what strudels are because of you. I know what a ripe strawberry and raspberry looks like because you helped me pick them from your garden. you always reminded me where all the toys were when I came to visit. I was always scared to go up those attic stairs but the amount of toys up there made it all worth it. love you forever grandma. Wish I was around more. love always your grandson Auston.
