I come to Martinsville almost every year with Edie from Michigan to visit her family. Veronica was always welcoming and kind to me and treated me like her little sister. I will miss her dearly. I will always remember how she loved her parents, husband, siblings, children and grandkids and how dedicated she was to each of them, especially her Mother, Mrs. Oliver. On behalf of my family and I, I'm sending our sincere condolences and prayers to all of the family. We love you all.
