Veda was my first supervisor at Carleton University. Amazing supervisor, a very kind hearted soul who taught me a lot both at work and in life. God give peace to her soul and strength to her family to live with the loss.

Veda will be greatly missed by all of us who knew her and by those who loved her. She was a very special mother-in-law. To know she is now in God's hands allows us to know that she is now at peace and pain free. She gave us all wonderful memories and love. These were her gifts to us. Love you forever.
