It is 5:51am on Saturday 20 November 2021 and I was reading the tributes made this year and listening to the music playing in the background. I felt like I needed to say something too. We both loved music and you happily did two CDs for me. I still have the one with "I Don't Know How To Love Him". The other CD stopped working long ago and you said you would redo it but unfortunately you never got a chance to do it. Continue to rest peacefully my dear Verna until we meet again.

You are forever in my heart, the memories we have had together has never fade. I sooo miss our conversation on msn… your way to plan our vacation on a budget when we came home. Happy belated birthday my darling. Until the day comes that we will see each other again. Sleep in peace.

10 years gone and it’s still so recent. I was not supposed to live without you. For the rest of time I will continue to miss you My V! Not the same without you my Love.

What if we never knew you? We would not feel your loss. Yet, I would still choose the joy of knowing and loving you. Today is your birthday my dearest baby sister, you were indeed a phenomenal woman. Your beautiful memories and spirit continue to light up our lives. Just last week I was sharing with someone the miracle of your last two years with us. The things you were able to do defied every prognosis. And while we always made the most of family gatherings we made sure to enjoy your last years with us. We did our best to make every moment count. Our increased family trips across Belize were activity filled and you did not sit and watch. You swam, kayaked, danced, laughed, sang. Yes, while we prayed with all our might that we would grow old together, we are grateful for the years we were blessed with your life and especially your last two years with us. We thanked and praised God for it and our family gatherings always ended with a joyful noise unto the Lord. We remain grateful and blessed. In your memory we continue to “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!” for your life, the lives of all our other family members who have left us, and those who are with us now. I was thinking that if you were here you would have found a way around COVID-19 to at least get us to sing this song together via virtual media. Maybe one of your nieces could take on this task.

You're not here physically but your impact on me continues daily through my thoughts, my words and my actions. I hear your voice in my head...when I laugh I can't help but think of you because the sound is so similar to yours, eventhough I do it unintentionally. I love you V...forever and always.

Rest well V! Your grand-nieces and nephew were asking what you were like and it turned into storytime. Your strength and resilience always inspired me, and it will continue to inspire all who have known or will know about you. Please watch over and pray for us who remain here on earth until we meet again. ❤️

I wish I could give you a bouquets of flowers in your hands and say ‘happy birthday V’ because that would help the heart to heal and the tears to stop. I love and miss you.
Your Auntie Ann

One more year has passed and I wish you were here with us. Your spirit is sooo missed. Forever love.

Profoundly loved and missed on your birthday. As long as I live you are in my heart.

As I sit and reflect, was surely a blessing crossing paths with Verna, she was such a pleasant person, petite, yet a giant, a go-getter, quiet but powerful, conscious and resourceful, loving and kind, she will forever be remembered, she had a unique sparkle in her eye..may she continue to RIP and watch over us as she is sadly missed it's never a goodbye but more of we will see you one day when you will welcome us to share in the splendor in God's presence..sleep on dear...

Sleep on Verna, your memories continues to live on within us.

A year later & I take this task up again. Wish you were here in the flesh. Tough thinking of you on this day.
