Every one of us at The Window Place, Inc. are extremely saddened over the passing of our sweet Velma. She was a treasure and will be deeply missed. Many of us are remembering her for the fabulously talented lady she was. In charge of inspecting and cutting fabrics was no easy task; she was a highly skilled custom workroom seamstress. When asked to assist with training new hires, no one did that better than Velma, with her smile, love and patience. I for one can vouch for that. My prayers are going up for all her family.
