Psalm 40:1 "I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. " I extend my deepest and heartfelt condolences to Willie, Willie 111, Ashley, and the Smith family; during this difficult time. I pray that God unwavering love, mercy and peace be with you all. Veronica was such a caring and loving person. Once you befriended her you know it's forever.
