Vera's son, Cole, graduated with me, and Carey, her daughter, graduated with Patti, my sister. Prayers and God's blessings go up to the Lord for this family. Vera was a great lady. I have many fond memories of her.

Vera and I always talked about the days we played softball on the same team -- Waaaaaaay back when.
 Sincere sympathy to her loved ones...she will be missed.

The picture in the Eagle was so good of Vera, she had that great smile that she always had.
