So very sorry to hear of Velda passing. She was a valued friend to grandma/mum, leonie glasson at avida ilam. She was very supportive, especially in Leonies final year and we as a family really appreciated that.

I will always remember Velda and she has crossed my mind often. I knew her when she worked at Sunnyside Hospital .as an outstanding nurse with wonderful fun and gentle personality. I was a Secretary in the small typing pool.
