To all our dear Australian family We are so sorry to hear the news of Vera’s passing. Such a wonderful lady who brought so much joy, laughter, and can I say advice, to Newcastle with each visit.

Fond memories of time spent with our dear Aunt Vera both here in Newcastle and down under in Adelaide.We loved her zest for life, her courage and her great sense of humour. Thank you for the love and kindness she gave to all of us and may she now rest in eternal peace with our dear Uncle Brian. Angela
RIP Aunt Veronica and the end of an era in the McVeigh family Newcastle, County Down. Many happy memories of her visits back to Newcastle and glad I got to visit her in Adelaide in 2007. A memory I have is her love for the Irish spring and the yellow colours - primroses, whine bushes and daffodils.
I had great affection for Vera. Even though I wasn't a 'Mc Veigh' she welcomed me with open arms. Angela and I spent many happy times with herself and Brian and we'll be thinking of you all tomorrow.
"When Irish eyes are smiling Sure, 'tis like the morn in Spring In the lilt of Irish laughter You can hear the angels sing" These words came to mind when I heard of our dear Aunt Vera's passing. I have such vivid memories of Vera's twinkling eyes, which captivated her 'joie de vivre', and sense of humour. I feel so privileged to have stayed with her and Uncle Brian in Wattle Park in 2006, where I was treated with such love and kindness. Precious memories spent with a wonderful couple, who are now reunited in eternal peace. Our thoughts are with your beloved family at this time Helen and Paul McKeever xx
Thinking of you all tomorrow as you bury your beautiful mother.We were so blessed to have got to know her and spend precious time with her and your lovely dad.We loved her zest of life and what was right !She taught us many things and opened our world to persissimon pie,happy hour and not chilling red wine !
Precious memories of a very special lady and the wonderful times we spent with Aunt Vera in Newcastle. Fondly remembered for her warmth, love and humour. Aunt Vera holds a special place in all of our hearts here in Ireland. Thinking of all the family and may they be comforted knowing that Aunt Vera and Uncle Brian are now reunited in everlasting peace. Ciara-Jane
So sad to hear of Vera's Passing. Been a great friend especially to my mother since we moved to become neighbours at Toorak Gardens. Remained great friends since leaving and moving to the country to live. Enjoyed Vera's kindness,hospitality and her Irish Wit. Reunited with Brian. We send our condoleances to you all. Peter, Micheal, Mary, Paul and families Margaret & Ken Carr (Sheehan) Port Lincoln
Condolences from Jack's side of the family. Jack really enjoyed the visit to Adelaide in 1991, I enjoyed watching Veronica trying to introduce Jack to new food experiences some worked better than others. Paul played it safe with a bucket of chicken. Aidan
