Vera was kind to many cadets. Her words of encouragement and smiles helped many make it through the old corps. God Bless her family and the many people she helped.

I´ll always remember Vera as sweet and beautiful as she was. She was such a joy to be around. Watching her have so much fun at your birthday party was priceless! You can´t hide the bond and love between a mother and her kids like y´all have. I´m always here for you and y´all will continuously be in my thoughts and prayers.
