    Velia was a fun lady with her sense of humour and was thoughtful towards many residents where she lived. I enjoyed getting to know her over the years. I miss her and send love to her family in my prayers.

    I will miss Velia, she was a mother-in-law that every girl could hope for. Funny, bright, and a great cook. She will be greatly missed by her granddaughters, Emily and Mary-Ann and great granddaughters Harlequin and Wren.
