I so loved getting to know her. She shared so many memories with me of her youth, marriage and kids. It was an honor to know her!♡

Aunt Vedia, my brothers and I spent many a night and day at your home. We were always welcomed with open arms. I have many great memories of the time. Still remember her great spaghetti and frozen parmesan bread. Love you Aunt Vedia, Rest in Peace.

She was a lovely person, and I'll remember her waving at me as Lexi and I passed. It'll take me awhile to remember not to wave, but until then feel free to wave back if you're there...and Max, too!!!

Going to miss her and her innocence. Many good memories, one of the funniest was when she gave Lois a blanket so we wouldn't get cold at the Don drive inn. It was cozy.
