Aunt Vera was so tenderhearted. She would tear up when we went to visit and tear up when we left. She love her family so much. She attended every birthday party, every shower and any other event that she was included in. She was so talented. I have needle work hanging in my guest room that she made. She and I took painting classes together. I painted my first picture, a magnolia, with her during that time. There are such happy memories that it is hard for me to be sad except that I will miss her so much. God Bless all the friends and family.
