I will always remember Aunt Vera (as I fondly called her) as one of the nicest, most classy close friends of my then mother in love, the late Lillian Eaton, May they both continue their rest they will never be forgotten

I will always remember "Aunt Vera", as I so fondly called her, as being one of the most beautiful (inside & out) and well dressed women I'd ever met in my life. I have wonderful memories of our many visits with her great friend and my then mother in-law Lillian Eaton. My condolences to Aunt Vera's family, she is now reunited with her long life friend "Lil". God Bless...

She was such a loving a kind person. Vera always had a smile on her face as she volunteered at RUSH! We all will miss her.
