Vera was one of those rare individuals who wore her heart on her sleeve. You never had to guess how she felt about someone or something, she was honest, loving and always wanted the best for those privileged to be loved by her. Once you were hers, you were hers forever. We are yours forever Vera and you are ours. Tell mom we miss her! Xoxox - Posted by: Sylvia (Friend, adopted "kid") on: Jan 19, 2015

Vera - full of life & a contagious smile. She was a great blessing in our lives. For many yrs lived just down the street - we sure missed them when they moved. Awesome cook, great hostess, wonderful friend. We had some great conversations. Sadly, we did not get to see her much due to many circumstances in our lives, in the last years. The world has lost a beautiful soul. Prayers & love to family & friends. - Posted by: Brian and Jan Ouellette (friends) on: Jan 18, 2015

Vera was a very lovely soul and an amazing cook. We still remember the fabulous Kussler (smoked German pork chop) with mushroom sauce and all the fixings we had in Vera and Walters home over the Christmas holidays many years ago. Our family was always shown so much love and our children loved being with them both. Her children were always on her mind and in her heart. Our hearts and prayers are with you all. The love Vera had for Walter was beautiful and very special. God bless. The Zipplingers - Posted by: Family Zipplinger (Friends) on: Jan 18, 2015
