My deepest condolence to Jon, Elliott and Haley on Vema's passing. She was a wonderful friend who I will greatly miss. She was a very dedicated Mom, the stories mentioned at her service were just the tip of the iceberg for all the love she lavished on her family. I worked with Vema at Laporte Hospital and saw first hand what a natural teacher she was. Staff, students, patients and their family members all benefited from her mission that everyone have the knowledge they need to give excellent care and that extended to homecare. She mothered us all and I was very grateful for her shepherding. I was so blessed to know Vema. She is forever in my heart.
