I will always remember just how Beautiful she has always been... 95 years and was still just as beautiful, like a Movie Star :-) I adopted her as my Granny back when we were all little, cause a great deal of my cousins are her beautiful grandchildren. I pray for you all, how lucky you all are to be blessed with such a wonderful woman as your Mom & Granny :-) I love you all.

So sorry for your loss. Vera will be missed by numerous people. I did not know her personally, only through you Shelia and Lena and other members of the church and she was well thought of to be a very woman of God and a treasured member of Bethel. God bless each family member.
