I was fortunate to grow up around the block from the Bruntons, and saw Velma regularly. Whether it was while she was walking home from her job at the Grace hospital, when she was gardening at home while Wayne and I were playing in his fort out back, or she was hosting a Christmas party, Velma always had a smile, words of wisdom, and a quick wit - and all three were often delivered, magically, with the same phrase. My thoughts are with the Brunton family at this sad time. And the great gift that has been given to all who knew Velma and Herb, with their examples of strength, grace, love, and life well lived.
