Vera E. Hale

Big sister..I miss you more than words can say right now. I miss you and think of you every single day God sends. Loving you.

Today you would have turned 63 and I'm sure I would have brought over
the Tiramisu Cake from Cake Boss which was your favorite. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you.
Happy Birthday Vera.

Miss you terribly...I always dream about you and those dreams I look forward to.

Happy belated birthday Vera. Look for George he's on his way to see you. My heart is broken I think about you and George everyday. Love you guys and keep each other safe.

Dear Vera,
Today, on your birthday, I'm remembering your kind spirit and gentle heart. Forever in my heart.

On my way to see you Vera with your favorite tiramisu cake Sept 17th.

Today marks our first month without Sister Vera.

Dear Hannah, we are so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was such a wonderful person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Vera, your loving spirit and tender heart will live on in all who were blessed to have known you. As the older sister, you set the moral and spiritual compass for all of your siblings to follow. I will miss your infectious laugh and sense of humor. You will forever stay in my heart. I love you Vera. Rest in peace.

Vera...my heart will never be the same again..I cannot stop thinking of the fact your no longer here with us..I'll never be the same.

My oldest sister who I will always have the fondest of memories. Always smiling and always the utmost pleasant. I still cannot believe she is gone. I will always remember her giving nature and she will never be forgotten....

Vera..I heard someone say that we now have another angel looking over us...I feel that best describes what I feel when I think of the fact that your no longer here on this earth looking over me. As a big sister does..and that never ends. Having you for a sister, and also as an example (As my sister Donna so eloquently said), I only want to now show the world just what having you as an example to follow can accomplish. Not only in worldly affairs, but also as a SPIRITUAL example...and you were a most devout example. In a way that I don't fully understand yet, (as I'm still in a most severe state of grieving), But as I go through this process of loss, I know you've inspired me to be a better man, and a better human...being. I love you more then words can describe..rest my sweet big sister until we meet again...until we meet again.

Although we only met once, Vera struck me as a beautiful example of God's merciful outreach; she was visiting the sick in hospital. Her soft, gentle manner and deep faith left a lasting impression on me. May God raise her to a high rank among the denizens of paradise

Vera you will be missed. I think I speak for the rest of my immediate family to say you were sweet, kind, and loving with a gentle spirit that will not be forgotten.

To Hannah...I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Although we have not met, I have heard so much about you. I know your mother was so proud of you. May the Lord continue to bless you in all of your endeavors in life.

To Auntie Sheila and Uncle George...I am so, so sorry for your loss. I wish I could be there to support you during this time. Please know you are in my prayers. I love you both.

To my cousins (Donna, Joan, George, Philip, Kim, Kert, and extended family)...It is so hard losing someone you love. I do not have any more words to say except hold on to the cherished memories you have. Love you all.

XOXO
Denise

Vera's kind heart, bright smile and laughter will never be forgotten. Hannah will remain in our prayers.

Vera was my sister and I'll always remember her for supporting all my dreams and goals with just a suggestion to join her path of righteousness with the Lord. What I would give this minute to show her your dream is a lot easier than mine. R.I.P Vera...you will never be forgotten in my life. I will honor you and improve who I am. This is my sworn testimony to you.

So sorry for your loss. May the God who gives comfort, comfort your family during this difficult time.

Dear Hannah,
I am praying for you,I know that the Lord will bring you through.Your mother was a very kind and wonderful person. She was so proud of you.

Hannah, Our prayers to you and your moms family. Your mom had a warmth spirit that was delightful to be around and her laughter filled the room. She will be missed, but her spirit and memories will live on...if you're ever in Florida visiting your family let me know. Erin, Andrew and I would love to see you. Be blessed and keep smiling God is with you and hears your heart.
