    Ms. Veronica was always so good to me and I truly appreciate the woman she is and was. Sierra, thank you for allowing me to meet your mother during the special relationship we’ve had for almost 20 years. I love you all and will be keeping you, Zahvy, and Cory in my prayers. If there is anything you need please don’t hesitate to call me.

    I love you Auntie, I never forget the special times we shared between Sierra, Corey, Zara and me. You always kept smiles on our faces and many great memories. Always kept it real, when I needed advice. Again, I love you and I can never forget nothing and only can reminisce off good times you brought in our life. From the Lord we come, unto him return. Deepest condolences to all the family- Sierra and Corey (always in my heart), and to Zahvy, Little Cory, and Zoey – you all are so bright and I look forward to the great individuals you are becoming from the strong foundation Grandma set for you.

    I love you Auntie, gonna miss those hugs.

    Hi Mom!
    I love this picture of you! You look beautiful. You know, I remember when you used to wear your hair long and wow-it was thick and gorgeous! That was such a long time ago. I was a kid and Sierra was a toddler and Cory was just a baby. I’m so glad I was there with you and have these fond memories to share. I have lots of great memories growing up with you taking care of me. You were such a strong and independent woman. I have told the story of my stepmom, Veronica, to lots of people over the years. You were the first woman to show me that I could be strong and independent even if it meant working two jobs, taking care of two babies and dealing with baby-daddy drama. Thank you for that.
    I wish life hadn’t put so much distance between us and that I could of seen you more over the years. You are so special to me and I’m so sad to know that you are no longer here. Yet, at the same time, I am glad you are in a better place. Our bodies get old and uninhabitable and relationships live and die and at some point, we are ready to move on and that’s just the way it is.
    Just know that, you are a great monument in my life. You showed me a better way to live and put me on a better path in life. I am forever grateful to you. May you find peace and happiness in the next life. I love you.

    Cory and Sierra,
    I am sorry for your loss and hope that you focus on all the good times and memories. Raising kids alone as a single mom is no picnic. I know your mom had her troubles, but she tried hard and most of all loved you with all her heart …now and forever.

    With love,

    Tam

    Mom’s. I remember the day I met Mom’s at Frannie and Big Jason’s apt. on Armour. WE were ALL packed in that small apt. Enjoying each others company. And then my life was shaken up and Mom’s become a Mother figure in a sense. Such a caring soul. All she wanted was the best for her Family. Direct or In-Direct. She was about unity and love. May she forever be the light for your direction, path, visions, and memories. When you feel that lump in your thought, think about that infectious smile, laughter, and love that she pocessed. You might not have always seen eye to eye, but she made sure you seen stuff through. I love ya’ll. Thank you for reaching out Bro. I didn’t have that number.

    Veronica and I worked together in 1973. She taught me so much, we had so many laughs and a few tears. I will always love and appreciate her.

    Veronica and I worked together at The Rehabilitation Institute of Kansas City. She was a fun-loving and free-spirit who never met a stranger. She treated everyone she met as if they were the only one in the world. Her sense of humor made many-a-day bearable. The staff of The Rehabilitation Institute will truly miss her. Veronica (or as several of us called her-Harmonica) was a dear friend. My heart goes out to the family. Know that there are many praying for and with you during this time and for time to come. May God’s presence and peace forever be with you-may Veronica’s spirit live through each and every one of you. Grace & Peace
