Dear Family,
Please accept my condolences in the loss of your Beloved Mother/Grandmother/Auntie/Sister Vera. While I haven’t seen her in many years, I still have good memories of a boisterous, infectious. unique laughter, and her bright smile and kindness.
I visited Boston often as a child years ago. I have a cousin from the South named Vera. When she was visiting and in the same place as your Mom, they called her “Little Vera”, and your Mom “Big Vera”. Both Vera’s were known for their laughter and quick wit, and with the two of them together – it was on, full tilt. Smiles.
I now how especially difficult it is to lose one’s Mother. I lost mine (Katye) 7 yrs ago, almost the day Vera made her transition. I always recognize the date of her passing as her “Spiritual Birthday”, and since she was a Believer in The LORD, try to imagine how happy she was to cross into the Spirit Realm, full of family, ancestors, friends and Our Saviour Jesus. It was hard at first, but knowing she is free of all our earthly ills, pains helped me be truly happy for her. And as a Believer, I know that she will be there waiting for me when my time comes.
May GOD Bless each of you, and help you find Strength at this difficult time, and in moving forward. You are loved, and I Pray you will each find your Peace in your own time. You have a new Angel (Miss Vera) watching over you now. Hold on to all the good memories of her, and she will forever be with you.
Take care, and be Blessed.
Michael Watson
