To The Mountenay Families:
Thinking of you at this sad and difficult time. Vera was a neighbour ever since they moved to Exeter. She was such a gracious lady and babysitter for many a child. I was an at-home mom at the time and enjoyed visiting with her even after she had given up her babysitting. Deepest Sympathy.
