U b truly missed . Mrs. Veretta one of my second mother's . She would tell u like it is. U always be in my heart. Luv ya  R.I.P Mrs. Veretta


I've known Veretta most of my life and am blessed to have shared many hours with the entire Medlock family.

We shared sadness occasionally and lots of laughs; home, school, band trips in the "yellow dog," girls softball with Mrs. Dorothy Lincoln's team, girl scouts, boyfriend drama, road trips to basketball games, etc.  As we got older, more often than not she showed how tough she could be but always treated me with a loving spirit. She loved deeply but for some reason found it necessary to show hardness instead.  I loved her wide smile and contagious laugh and often felt a gentle swipe with her left hand because she loved to do that you while we shared a laugh. She also asked me to help name one of her daughters.

Veretta and her mom came to visit when my husband and I lived in Olympia, Washington. Before they arrived I asked what they would like to do and without hesitating Mrs. Betty Ann said she wanted to go to a Seattle Sonics basketball game (that's before the team moved to Oklahoma City). When I asked Veretta the same question, she simply said, "Whatever Mama wants to do." So our priority was set and we went to the game and had a great time.

All during their visit Veretta was attentive to her mother and made sure her every wish was satisfied. The love she showed and shared was evident of how much she cared for her mother.  I am thankful that Veretta helped make that trip possible and I hold those memories close.

Regardless of how she treated others, we always had a good relationship and I loved her. Though months had gone by, whenever I phoned her it felt like we'd talked just last week. I believe the mean, callous and hard exterior she let most people see, for the most part, was a facade. I often wished I could have understood her reasoning.

May God keep us all in perfect peace and trust that  Veretta has received her eternal home where there is no pain, sorrow or suffering.
Sarah Smith

May the Lord continue to heal your hearts and give you daily strength. Look to the hills from whence cometh your help!

I love you Veretta we didn't take that cruise we had planned, but when we meet again it's sailing away.  I love you sister in law.  No more pain just resting in peace.  Love Tina
