Goodbye Aunt Veda. I sure enjoyed the visits we had over the years. Wish the distance was not so far and I could have come to Visalia more often. We will miss you!

Veda was always special to me, a good friend, fun to chat with and she was just an awesome cook. I will miss her terribly, she always had a big hug for me when we saw each other at the Lodge. She loved her family and was very proud of their accomplishments. RIP and God Bless, you will be missed.
