Mary Jane and Marty --
You two were so supportive of Velma for so many years and I know she loved you both for it. She is at peace now and finally reunited with her beloved Buddy. I'll never forget all the wonderful weekends I spent with my "adopted parents" and can still see your mom sipping her coffee at your kitchen table asking where we were off to! Our love and prayers are with you both. Ruth and John Cella
