My aunt Vera was one of the sweetest women I’ve ever known, a dedicated wife,mother,grandmother and greatgrandmother. Vera and Carl will be greatly missed, i loved them dearly. Unfortunately living in Florida i rarely got to see them as much as i would have liked. Their memory will always be treasured. May God bless and keep you until we see you again 💔
