From another classmate and friend I wish to concur with all the wonderful worldwide tributes to Veronica. Edmund, please accept our condolences on the demise of your dear sister and my dear school friend. We just got to communicate with one another in the last few months but her sense of humour and tenacity to fight this awful disease came through loud and clear. Vijay, I sincerely thank you for replying to my last email to Veronica and also for yourimpressive tribute to a dedicated and superb lady who will be sorely missed. My heartfelt condolences, thoughts and prayers are with you, Edmund, your family and all of Veronica's colleagues.
