Paul, Paula, Tom & Carole, Was so saddened to read about Venus. I have so many fond memories of sitting on her breezeway and talking about the flowers she had planted. I think of all of the times I drove down Holt Street and would look over to see her sitting there waving at the kids and I. She always liked to talk about her family and how much they meant to her. She was a wonderful woman and will be so missed. Know that I am thinking of you all and that I am very, very sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Kathy
