2. Vera,
   Even though I’ve known you all my life, it wasn’t until the last few years I really got to know you. It was a pleasure looking after you in Corangamarah. The passage ways are going to be quieter not having you walking around and giving me a bit of cheek on your way past (and me giving you a bit back) 😉
   Reunited with Bob ❤️

3. Robyn, Raelene, Darryl and families. Sorry we were unable to be with you all today. We did watch Vera's livestream and it was a beautiful tribute to a special Auntie. We hope heaven has a lovely vegetable garden with an endless supply of rhubarb.

4. To Robyn and Des, Raelene and Ross, Darryl and Libby and families.
   I felt so fortunate at 3.00 am this morning, in our hotel room in Amsterdam to watch Aunty Vera's funeral. What a wonderful send off for her. She would have loved your account of her life, Libby's poem and the contributions from her grandsons in reading a poem and preparing her video show.
   Aunty Vera was always a special person in my life and I truly hope that she is not only now reunited with Bob but also with Nana and Pop and my parents, Louie and Norm.

   Much love to you all
   Jennifer, John , Sarah, Emily and families

5. Sorry I couldn’t be there to say goodbye today. I’m glad I had the privilege to look after you the last couple of years. I’ll miss seeing you walking the passage in the early morning, asking for the paper, and having a chat and joke with you. Give nana and pa a big hug from me.
   Love Rhiannon.

9. My Dear friend Vera
   I feel so privileged our paths crossed and I had the opportunity to share some wonderful adventures with you and many laughs. I always looked forward to our catch ups and your sense of humour never failed to make me smile.

   Vera always spoke of her late husband Bob, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren with so much love and pride.
   Rest peacefully Vera I will cherish the memories.
