With the greatest of respect –

Feel no guilt in laughter, she’d know how much you care.
Feel no sorrow in a smile that she is not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever; she would not want you to.
She’d hope that you could carry on the way you always do.
So, talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared,
The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you, a word someone may say
Will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day,
That brings her back as clearly as though she were still here,
And fills you with the feeling that she is always near.
For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart
And she will live forever locked safely within your heart.

I had the pleasure of working with Veronica at the Greater Dufferin Area Chamber of Commerce for many years. She was a great person and her support and involvement with the Chamber, it’s members and her community was outstanding. My sympathies go out to her family.

Dear Cathy, Debbie, David and families,
It is so sad that you have lost your Mum and Grandma, she loved you all dearly.
We met years ago at Aquafit and soon became friends, more recently until last year, we had Tuesday morning Lattes together where we would put the world to rights or just enjoy a good laugh. I am going to miss her.
Sincere sympathies, my thoughts are with you all at this very difficult time.
Carol & Keith Crowther and family.

I so sad to hear of Veronica’s passing. i had the pleasure and honour of knowing her the last few years ,we had many great conversations and laughs in and out of my chair, she was truly one of my most favourite people and she will be missed by many! i will always think of with a smile. my sympathies and thoughts are with you in this sad time.
Cheers

I would like to extend deepest sympathy and my most heart-felt condolences to Veronica’s family, friends and all those who loved, and were privileged to know her. I can’t begin to tell you how sad and greatly affected I am, in learning of her passing yesterday. I adore her as such a good soul and a wonderful JBJ colleague, with whom I, (and everyone else for that matter), hold in the highest regard. I have since moved to Ottawa yet I fondly recall Veronica’s devotion, trustworthiness, her spirit of generosity, genuineness, humour, and, of course, her calming, composed disposition. She had everybody’s back. She truly pays homage to Maya Angelou’s quote: “I have learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you do, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Veronica is within my heart always. It is reassuring to know that she was surrounded by the love of her family as she had wished. At such an unimaginably difficult time, I hope you may take comfort in knowing that Veronica was so dearly loved and admired. While no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, please know that you and your family are close in thought.
With love, Kerry Wright

to Veronica’s family: I am so very sorry for your loss. Selfishly I wish I could have had one more lunch with my good friend and colleague, Vron.

To Vron, I hope you can hear me up there when I yell, “Help, Vron, my computer’s stuck. Love you to pieces!!

To Veronica’s family which I know she cherished dearly. I am so sorry for your loss. Veronica was an amazing woman. She was always looking out for me, and giving me great words of wisdom. Veronica, was the kind of person who wasn’t afraid to speak out for those that couldn’t and you always knew where you stood with her. During the time I worked with Veronica, she was a huge asset to our office, so organized and detailed it made the transition we experienced so much easier. Her passion and dedication to her community were enormous. She truly had an amazing spirit and will be missed. Prayers to her family.

A lifetime of memories from our childhoods.
Memories live on as you will in our hearts.
With love from your cousin Howard and family.

Vron was my Auntie and so I was lucky enough to have known her for as far back as I can remember. She was the most caring and positive person I think I’ve ever met. Always so much fun to be around and encouraging and full of love for her family. I can’t believe she’s gone. I’ve felt such a sense of loss since being told that she’d passed away. My thoughts and those of my family in the UK are with Cathy/Debbie and David and their families. Bless you Veronica. Will always love you and never ever forget you xx

Veronica was an amazing woman. I had the pleasure of working with her on the board of directors for the Chamber. She had so much to offer, was a hard worker and was always so caring. She was someone that came into my life and will remain in my memories forever. To a very special lady, Rest in peace. My prayers go out to her family.

I was saddened to hear of Veronica’s passing. I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Veronica at Georgian College. She was a delight to work with, always friendly and easy going. My sincere condolences go out to her family.

Veronica was a precious and valued friend whom I will miss. She was a delight to share a cup of tea with and I treasure my memories of her wit and laughter. She was reliable, gifted, loving, and joy-filled. I wish her much deserved peace as her legacy is enjoyed by family, friends, coworkers, and neighbours both at home and abroad. I will remember her always and rejoice at the love she shared with so many. It was a privilege Vron.

Vron was our “go to girl!” Whether it was running ideas by her, figuring out a problem or just having a good old gab-session … she was a constant. I am truly saddened at hearing of her passing and send my heart-felt condolences to her family and loved ones. She was “one-of-a-kind” and I feel blessed that I had the opportunity to know her. Love ya V! xo

On behalf of the Hospice Georgian Triangle family please accept our deepest sympathies on this great loss.

Please take comfort in knowing you are helping others in Veronica`s memory.

Dear Cathy, Debbie and David

I miss your mother.
