Although we are not able to attend the services our thoughts and prayers are with the family left behind. I have so many fond memories or Veronica, her sisters and cousins playing with one another as children. I know she is smiling down from heaven and now has eternal happiness as she is reunited with Christ and all her loved ones that have gone before
Sorry for the loss of my daughters mom ,my condolences to the Gurera family, love you Lili I’ll always be here for you .
Oh, Miss Veronica..
I don’t even know how, and where to start. I’m sorry.
I am so thankful for all the times that we have worked together. I have never had better conversations with anyone so early in the morning! I always appreciated your positivity towards any situation that came your way. Every time I visited you, you were always so cheerful. I don’t think that I have ever seen you in a bad mood. You were a true positive influence that radiated onto others.
I thank you for always checking on my kids and family, and speaking of them like they were yours. I will always consider you a good friend of mine.
My heart hurts for your two children. You loved Lili, and your son so deeply, and I hope they never forget that.
I am so sorry that you had to leave this earth so soon, but just know that you impacted everyone so greatly.
You will always be close to my heart.
Love,
Persyda.
My heartfelt sympathy to all of Veronica’s family. I was sadden to hear of her passing, when I talked to her two weeks ago I didn’t know that it was my last chance to talk to her & tell her I Love her. Veronica was a wonderful Christian mother to Chris & Lillie Ann & raised them in the Christian faith. I know she is now reunited in heaven with all of her family that have gone on before as well as my son Jason. Lille Ann will always have a family as long as she has me. Lillie Ann if you ever want to talk I am always here for you. My phone number should be found in your mother’s phone & I left you a message on Tuesday. You are loved and a valuable member of our family. Love & prayers Aunt Carol
Lillie Ann (peanut) I am so sorry for your loss of your mother at such an early age in your life. I wanted you to know that I am sorry that we haven’t been closer, but your Aunt Joan & I will always be here for you. You, as well as all of my nieces and nephews, are deeply loved. I have been keeping up with you through your dad. We all Love you very much Uncle Rick.
To my sweet cousin…I wish we all would have stayed close!! I miss you all and think about you everyday!! I’m so sorry to the rest of my cousins for their loss!!
