    Sweet Velva, I am honored and blessed to have known and worked with you. To call you a friend. You are hands down one of the most beautiful women I have had the fortune to know. My goodness, talk about that smile! Velva, you and I talked and hugged each other every day when you were working with us. I knew I would always miss that hug—your crazy stories, when you decided to retire! Just having a peace about you and good nature is another thing I love and miss. Luke 23:43 Jesus said "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise." Matthew 5:4; "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted" . John 14:1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Until we meet again, my friend. With all my love, Misty

    To my Auntie no we are not blood related, but you have been in my life for many many years. When I came to see you I was in disbelief that my auntie Velva is leaving and going to a better place. Like I told you and I'll say it again, " Hello beautiful, I love you so much Auntie, Thank you for our conversations, thank you for teaching me how to braid my daughter's hair, thank you for the great times that we worked side by side for years, thank you for being an Awesome mother, grandmother, sister and best friend to many!" When you were looking at me and smiled and held out your hand to me and I held your hand and told you how much I loved you and appreciated you over and over again. We miss you and we will always love you!!!! Rest well Auntie,your mission here is complete. Thank you Jesus for creating such a beautiful soul ❤️❤️❤️
