Sincere condolences. Vera was inspirational to many community members simply by speaking her truth. She was always willing to share a story, an opinion, or her thoughts - she was a hard worker, who was forward thinking and kept moving forward through the many mountains put in her path. Yet she always remained humble and appreciative of her family. May she Rest In Peace. Hugs to all that loved this community gem!
