Tommy and family and John

Aunt Vera will be sorely missed. She was such a sweet person and dedicated to whatever endeavors she under took. Always a smile. I know there is a big void in your heart.

Juney and Tommy,

I know you will both miss her. She was a memorable
part of the Hoggood's lives, and know she, and Mom
are together again.
We will miss the "General" too.

To the Family of Vera Crowder, i would like to say that Vera was a lovely woman who was so cheerful and full of life. I knew her through the Woman's Club of P.G. and served with her for about ten years. She was alway game for fun. She was so cute when she ate two pieces of chocolate cake and then took a headache pill. she figured if she was going to be plagued with a migraine, she might as well enjoy getting it. I know you will greatly miss her. She was the greatest!
