Velma loved life. Vell was so proud of her children and grand kids and great grand kids I heard about so many happy times she spent with them; bridal / baby showers, holding the new grandbabies. I sure will miss her and the many stories she told.

To The Frangakis Family.
I am wishing you comfort and strength to see you through this difficult time. I have fond memories of my friendship with Vel, our weekly chats and the annual Dudley Rd. group lunches. More recently due to our limited mobility we chatted about our families ,local and world events, and our aches and pains. I always admired Vel’s accurate memory recall.
With Deepest Sympathy,

I remember Val as a wonderful, witty, bridge player. A rare raconteur. My condolences to the family. She had a wonderful life as I’m sure you know.

We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Velma.
She was the rock in the family!
Velma wrote a wonderful note in her last Christmas cards-she was a very proud Grandma and Great-Grandma.

Cyndra, Greg and Brad, thinking of all of you and your families today as we say goodbye to Aunt Vel. It was so nice to see your mom last October when I dropped in. I’m sorry I can’t be there in person, but my heart is with the family. She carried so many stories and memories of my Mom and Dad and even the Bratty family through the years, and I’ll always be grateful for the way she kept our family history alive. Sending love to everyone.

To the Frangakis gang,
I am so sorry for your loss. Val was the life blood of that family. She welcomed that skinny kid from down the street that always seemed to be around and was a great friend to the families all around. My folks also appreciated the fun they had together with Jim and Val.

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. She was a wonderful lady who always welcomed me with open arms. I haven’t seen her for many years but I ran into her and your dad before they moved from Nobleton and had a wonderful visit. They were such wonderful parents and people and I know you will miss them so much. My deepest condolences to you and your families. What a beautiful legacy she’s left behind May your memories bring you comfort Love Mary xo
