"So sorry for your loss. Veva was a sweet & loving lady. When she was going to church, we would sit in the back pew. We talked & laughed about things. She was always talking about her family. When she stopped coming to church I really missed her. Hope your memories help you through this difficult time."

"So sorry for your loss. I enjoyed doing Veva?s hair for almost 30 years. She was a joy to be around, always smiling. Her love for her family was so strong. She was so proud of each and every one of you. My guess is, she is sitting in a rocking chair up in Heaven taking care of babies. I?ll keep her in my prayers?"
