Our sincere sympathy to the family of Vera. We would see her at St. George dinners where she enjoyed speaking to my husband about Eastern European politics. She was interesting to talk to and was a good friend. Memory eternal, dear Vera...

Lovely lady and fine friend to many. Long standing member of St. George Cathedral. We miss her smiling face. Truly "old school". Much to celebrate. Hard to let go. Memory Eternal.

Vera was my co-worker at EPA for many years. We shared many funny and personal stories about our families and friends. The memories I have will always be very special. I am blessed to have known her.
