I was a neighbor of Vesta's for many years. I have never met a more loving, generous, giving person than Vesta was. I have kept in touch with her since she moved to assisted living. Just about the time she passed away I called her and there was no answer. She was so healthy and I was shocked to see her obit. It breaks my heart to know I will not have her in my life anymore. She was always waiting for the trumpets to sound and I hope she did! God got one of the most wonderful woman who has lived her life for Him.
