I just learned of Veronica's passing. I am so deeply saddened and so sorry for your loss. Veronica was the best Mom ever to have on the bench at softball games. I will miss her. She loved you all so very much and was extremely proud of each of your accomplishments! She will always be with you!!!! May God comfort you during this difficult time.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there: I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints off snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle Autumn's rain
Do not stand by my grave and mourn
I am the dew-flecked grass at dawn
Where tranquil oceans meet the land
I am the footprints in the sand
To guide you through the weary day
I am still here, I'll always stay
When you wake up to the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there: I did not die

The Cersosimo and Sipe family,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Veronica was truly a great person and she will be dearly missed. I will never forget her compassion and warmth. I played football with Dave, and she always treated me like I was her own. She left so suddenly, but I know shes in a better place now.
God Bless,

Your loss is felt wide, Veronica touched so many lives. Her family was her ROCK. She was SO PROUD of all of you. She had a loving husband who she adored and children she LIVED for. She touched so many children in the softball community between Sto-Rox and C.I.T. She was a truly a WONDERFUL person. We'll will miss her for her love, laughter, and friendship. May God Bless her and her family. Remember she's watching over you. Look up and she is there.
With deepest sympathy

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I couldn't believe when I heard the news. Veronica was the sweetest person. She helped Jayden out so much when she lost her dad 2 years ago. It really meant alot to our family. Mary & family: if you need anything at all we are here for you. Unfortunately we know your pain. Just trust that you now have an angel watching over you.

To the family,
I am going to miss her laughter and her joy. She always made work so much more enjoyable. I myself still cannot believe it. We at work all loved her so much and we will never forget her. Know that I understand how you feel and that it is ok to feel what you need to feel for as long as you need to feel it. If you need anything at all you can count on me and the rest of our work family to be there. May God Bless You all!

Brian, David and Girls,
I just learned today of your loss and I am numb. I cannot imagine what you are going through. Veronica was always so full of life and just by reading all of the guest book entries, it is evident that she left a lasting and loving impression on all she met. David we just saw you at our house not long ago and I never would have thought you'd be going through this right now. You said how much your Mom worried about you. She was obviously proud of you all and that is something that never goes away--her love for you won't go away either. Stay strong for each other and know that so many people are praying for the peace of God to surround you as you go through this time of sorrow.
Love,
The Porters
