We are so sorry to see that Velma passed away. She was a fantastic person that would go out of her way to say hello to us no matter where it was. Hugs and prayers for her family and friends.
So very, very sorry to hear of Velma’s death. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family at this difficult time.
A sweet lady I had the pleasure to meet through Gloria and her family. My sympathy to the family.
