Gene published a tribute .

A Mother’s Love is Forever
As children,
we can’t comprehend or fully realize
the meaning of our mother’s love,
how tender and how wise,
the patience and forgiveness that are part of every day,
The unexpected “little things” she does in her own way.
Years go by before we can look back on life and see
Through older eyes and wiser hearts her love and loyalty,
And yet it’s these and other special things we’ll hold so dear,
For memories of steadfast love will keep her ever near.

Debbie Rich published a tribute .

Although I did not know Vera, I wanted to take a moment to extend my sympathy. So many have experienced the pain of losing a loved one. My mother in law passed away 3 years ago from cancer. It's painful to see what they have to go through. I am writing to share a few words that have brought me comfort and helped me to get through the pain. Psalm 56:8 says God sees and cares about the pain we feel. He collects all our tear and preserves them in his bottle and records everyone in his book. He promises to soon wipe away all the tears from our eyes and death will be no more. (Revelation 21:4) With the gift of your memories of Vera, may that bring you great joy as you look forward to seeing her again in the promised resurrection by Jesus Christ. (John 5:28,29) It is my wish you will find cofmort and hope from these thoughts in the Bible.

We think of you with love today, but that is nothing new. We thought about you yesterday and the days before that too. We think of you in silence, and often speak your name. We treasure special memories, and your picture in a frame. Your memory is our keepsake, for which we will never part. God has you in his arms, We have you in our hearts.
