My heart breaks with the passing of my dear friend, Vera. She was such a great inspiration to me. In all the years she suffered with cancer she never complained. When I talked to her, by phone, she always said she was doing good. We shared family, weather, and the beauty surrounding us. Mostly, we shared a common bond in Christ. We read and discussed together a daily Bible reading. Vera....I will miss you so. Until we meet again...
