This popped up in my memories today and I´ve known Veronica since elementary school through junior high and high school. It´s still so hard to believe we lost her so young condolences to the family as I know grief is something that never goes away. She was such a wonderful person we are coming up on our 30th high school reunion and she will certainly be missed

I remember Veronica at the Tucson East MVD for a short time as supervisor. She was fun to be a around and a great prankster. When you played a joke on her she really new how to pay back. I will always remember her. Prayers go out to her family.

I remember Veronica as such a loving and kind person. When she was a new employee to SWG, I ran into her at a BB King concert where she greeted me with a big hug and smile as if we’d known each other for some time. When I recall our conversations about that night, I smile. I’m glad I was able to speak to her during her struggle and it was such a pleasure to know her. I’ve missed her pretty smile and her pleasant demeanor; boy she really enjoyed reading those books at break time. To her family, embrace the good memories of her which will help you through this difficult time and my sincere condolences to you. God bless you.

My condolences to her children,husband and parents and other family members. Her memory will live on and she will be smiling at us above the clouds. You are now resting, God be with you Veronica and your family. Love, Delianna Green

I worked with Ronnie many years ago at United Healthcare. I moved away in 2001, but did not keep in touch. I am very saddened to hear of her passing and more saddened that we did not keep in touch. I loved working with her, she was a great friend and a terrific person. I know she will be missed dearly and send my love and prayers to her family. Sharon Jones
