Vera was a sense of strength for her family, and touched the hearts of many people that she came into contact with. Her humility and honesty were what could connect her with anyone that cared to share time with her. She was a true fighter, and never stopped trying to learn. She was a natural born teacher. And she would share her knowledge with those who could sense her wisdom. She will be missed by many. We are all blessed to have had Vera in our lives.
