I am sorry to hear of Vera’s passing. After trying to send her a Christmas card, I learned of this news.  We lived in the same building at The Palms.  She was always such a smiling face and always so kind to my son when he was born.  We both moved from The Palms around the same time and so we did not see each other but on an occasional visit.   I loved all her stories that she could tell of her long life and how times have changed in some ways a lot and in other ways not at all.  Such a sweet neighbor and dear person!!!
