To all the family, I’m very sorry for your loss. Your family does set a good example of how we should remain close and care for each other, an example I’m sure was set by your mother. I hope all your favorite memories will bring you comfort and smiles. Thinking of you all.

Mrs Vera was the most godly women i have ever know she sang a song about wearing a hat and going to church i loved her so much!
To each of Mrs. Presley’s family. You were blessed to have a mother as Mrs. Vera. She would meet me at the bus when I would pick up Misty, one day she surprised me with a bowl of chicken and dumplings you all know how good those tasted. Then when I was placed on 23-86 I was fortunate to carry many more of her grandchildren the Levins, Smiths, Presleys and Blake. I’m sorry for your loss, but thankful for the examples she set before each one of you. Listen to your heart and follow in her steps toward her final destination of Heaven. John 3:16. My prayers are with each of you.
we love you granny we know you are in heaven smiling down on us the greatest memories of my childhood were with you when you would watch me and all of my cousins you really had a heart of gold we love you rest in peace in the hands of the lord save me a spot in heaven next to you
