Dear Ted and Girls,

I was so sorry to learn of Vera's death. I only found out today (2/1/05) from Edith Betz. We all loved Vera so dearly at Capital Union. We all worked together for so many years that we were all family to one another.

She loved you and the girls so much, she was such a precious lady. Vera was a very special person who always had something good to say to everyone.

I know how much y'all will miss her presence, but I know she is with the Lord. You and your family will be in my prayers.

"Miss Vera" was definately an angel walking on earth. She did not let a day go by without asking about my daughter and always left me with a smile. Her love of life and family was always displayed on her beautiful face. She will be missed dearly, but treasured always.

Dearest Kim,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Vera was a compassionate and caring person. She loved people and loved working at OFI. She knew everyone's name, their spouse's name, their children's names and recognized the voices of everyone who called at the office. Even in her worst days, Vera kept on going, kept on living life to the fullest. She loved her children and adored her grandchildren. She has a wonderful legacy in her family. God Bless You and Yours in this time of sorrow. Love, Loretta

Family, my prayers and thoughts are with you. It was a pleasure working with Ms. Vera. She never gave up and was still rejoicing in the midst of her trials and tribulations. Family trust God to see you through. God said he would never leave you nor forsake you, that he will be with you until the end.
