    Velma had a warm and welcome heart. I missed Hector and now I’ll miss her, too. However, I have faith they’re reunited in the spirit. That gives me hope and I hope it will give you reassurance as well. Praying love your way (the family, st jones within community, and the whole arm, really) as you all mourn her passing but also celebrate her newfound life in the spirit. Lean on faith…and if that’s not enough…lean on each other. Blessings from the mainland.
