It this doesn't bring a tear to the eye, I don't know what will Marcie. What great memories you have and my heart goes out to you and the rest of your family.
I think this photo sums up all the love Verena felt for everyone.

Oh Marcie, I knew your mother from our contacts here at Caedes and through emails and PMs. She was a constant encouragement to me and always was helpful and very kind. I miss her very much and my heartfelt prayers go out to you and your sister. I truly believe that the wonderful memories you have will be of comfort to you as you now make your way. I see much of her goodness in you, and in you, Miss V, will live on.

I am writing with tears in my eyes, but I want to say how much I loved you Mother's friendship on here. We also talk by way of email and PM many times, and I wish now that I would have gotten to talk to her on the phone too. I will miss her so much. It won't be the same not seeing her pictures, and her beautiful art work with PaintShop Pro that she mentioned so often. She was a real artist, and a wonderful person. I can't stop thinking about her. My prayers are with you, Amber, and the rest of the family. God bless.

She will be missed...

There are no words to express my sadness for you and those left here. But I know your mother, Lady V as I called her, is truly dancing with the other angels now. God bless you all.

Such sweet words Marcie. Thanks for sharing and I know it must be sooo hard for you right now. Just know one thing.......we all loved your Mama here......there are many prayers to go along with the angels that are helping her find her way to heaven. I'm sure she's already there and smiling down on us. She will be greatly missed around here. John

So touching and my tears are still flowing. A lovely tribute to your mom Marcie. You have my love and prayers.

I'll always miss her, too.

Even at this sad time this image gave me a smile - you hang in there, girl -

It is a very lovely tribute to your mother,it is hard to believe that your mother has gone,she was a nice person.

So very touching~I can't imagine your feelings right now. What a loss for you and for all of us here as well. Warm,bright,vibrant,cheery,welcoming and so artistic! These words all come to mind as I think of your mom.Didn't know her on here as long as some of her dear friends,but she made an impression and inspired me to use my artistic eye and keep on capturing.Will miss her comments and friendship.

Thank for sharing this very personal photo and sentiment with us. Having lost my own mom very unexpectedly some years ago I understand your pain and can only hope our collective hearts here at caedes and the outpouring of feeling for her and your family helps a little.

Both a warm and touching photograph to me, Marcie.
Brings a tear in my eyes too, although I know that a retired seaman shouldn't be that weak, but I can't help it.
You have to cherish this photograph, as it's unpayable.
You and all the Caedes-friends (will) miss your Mom dearly.

Marcie... No matter how painful things were your mother never failed to be there for me... Her voice was always kind as she would inquire about how I was. From what you write, she must have been the same way as a mother, and I think the light in her eyes still shines through yours.

Marcie ... The times that I texted back and forth with your Mom it was always a Joy .. The creations that she posted were always beautiful ... The photo you posted now is priceless ... always remember those times ... She will be missed .. both Ms V .. and your family are in my thoughts ...

Oh Marcie this is so touching and made me cry also. Gorgeous and she will always be with you now.

RIP Verena. She will always be missed for her creative work and her talent. I've not been active for couple of days and was shocked to hear this. She was a joy to talk and always encouraged my work. I'm going to miss her. You and your family are in my thoughts

Wonderful words and sentiments Marcie. Your mother was a lovely lady and you and your sisters and all your families must miss her terribly.

Dear Marcie I am so sorry for your loss. We were all very lucky to have known your Mother through Caedes.....she always shared such beauty and kindness.....she will be remembered forever and forever missed. Kate xo

Marcie, a wonderful memory of a touching moment...I can feel your Moms love, for her children, just seeing this picture. Please except my sympathy.

Marcie, Your Mother was one in a million. We will miss her deeply. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time. Remember the things she taught you and pass them on to those that follow. Her gallery of beautiful images and her words of encouragement will live on at caedes.net and in our hearts for a very long time.
