Veen was my mother-in law (Ken) and I loved her very much. I have many wonderful memories of her through out the years I have known her. She loved all of her family and will be missed by all
I miss you Veen in my own memories. You were strong, fun and funny and always a delight to be around.
Rest in peace with Big Ken, Aunty Norm, your mom and dad and many of your friends who have waited for you to join them
Be at peace now and know that you will always be remembered and loved
