To Veeona's Family- I am a fellow dialysis patient of Vee's and I dialyzed with her for the last 22 years. She had an infectous laugh that made everyone smile. I loved her. I recently attended a kidney seminar at the Highlander and had a very nice visit at the table with her. She treasured her family and especially her children. I always enjoyed her passion for planting flowers. I will pray she is at peace. May you all find a memory each day to make you smile. Her positive energy and attitude were admirable. I will miss her. With Love and Prayers- Tammy Salm

Leilanii, For some reason I searched this out after conversing with you this evening. Realizing that I had already expressed my condolences to you right upon the time you informed us of this passing, I felt it important to place my words of respect, peace and God's eternal blessings for all an eternity on this official guest book. Your mother made you quite the person you are. I would have enjoyed to have met her and understood from the source, where your qualities came from. I am sure that she is in God’s assuring hands and will always watch over you and your family. Respectfully, Michael & Admiral.
