I know and remember her as Velvet. She came into my life as a friend several years ago, and we became like sisters. She was always upbeat and positive. She wore a perpetual smile on her face. She was always willing to go the extra mile for those in need. She was a beautiful woman with a shining personality. She will be forever missed. She was well liked and received by all who encountered her. My heartfelt condolences go out to her family and her friends. I hope we meet at the first resurrection. God bless those you have left behind. I loved her dearly. She loved her family so much. So very sad.
