My Grama helped shape me into who I am today. I am very blessed to have had her in my life. She shared these words of wisdom through the years:
“cat-naps are good to recharge your energy, you are never too old for them!”
“always take care of yourself”
“It’s better to live rich than to die rich”
I will miss her very much.
Vera was the sweetest mother-in-law any woman could have wished for. She was such a blessing to us all. She was a fantastic grandmother to Daniel. We will miss her deeply but know she is waiting for us in Heaven because she trusted Jesus Christ as her Saviour.
I am so sorry for the loss of a loved one. We have the wonderful memories of Vera in our hearts.
My prayers are with the family. She was a wonderful woman and will be missed. I met her when i moved in to her aptment building and from there found out she knew my dad, who lived in Talbotville when he was younger. We had nice little chats while getting the mail or waiting to go out. My deepest symathies go to the family and friends.
Although I know you will miss your mom, mom-in-law, gram and friend so much, I have to smile every time I think of her telling Daniel, “I’m going to see Jesus!”. Do take comfort in that great, blessed hope, Robert, Linda and Daniel.
In Him

How sad we were to read about Vera’s passing. We will always remember her lovely smile, the way she opened her home to Robert’s friends and how she loved to “brag” about her children and grandchildren. She was truly blessed and was a blessing to us.
