Aunt Veannie you gave me some great advice on how to care for my Mom as her Alzheimer's got worse. And you were certainly there for her and i both after the unexpected death of her husband/my father - you knew better than anyone else what we were going through since you lost Uncle Tom so early in life. You were a very strong woman and I have the utmost respect for you. God Speed, Aunt Veannie - we love you!
