Dear Rosellen, So sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Janice Gemmell
I have no memory of Vera, largely because my immediate family lost touch with my grandfather James’ family after his passing. It doesn’t, however, change my sadness for her loss. My mom, Dorothea, has often spoken lovingly of her – her spirit and personality. Rosanne and I send our prayers and love at this difficult time.
