Mr. & Mrs. Yaphet Veale

It's hard to believe you're gone. I haven't seen you in years, but hearing this news brings back so many memories of the good times we shared. We had some really good laughs, and I'll always remember your smile, your laugh, and the joy you brought to those around you. Life may have taken us in different directions, but the memories from Chestnut Ave. will always hold a special place in my heart. You may be gone from our sight, but you will never be forgotten. Your memory, your smile, and those good times will live on forever. Rest easy, Jo Jo. Until we meet again.
