Dear Vera and family,

Please accept my deepest condolences and may Jesus Christ meet her at the gates of heaven and let her be connected with her loved ones in peace and bliss.

Sorry we couldn't pay our respects to your wonderful mother, but my parents aren't doing well at all and I'm doing my best to take care of them.

Love, Darka Witiuk
