Vera was a gentle, generous, and loving person. Her faith in God was evident in the way she responded to others. There was warmth and kindness in her smile. We were blessed to have her visit our home a few times each year to share a special family dinner. Our last visit with Vera was this past Easter. Our prayers go out to her family and fiends. May they cherish their fondest memories of her, and find comfort in knowing that she has returned to her heavenly Father. Sincerely, Diana, Richard, Nathan and Nicholas Zarich
