As Miss Delaware 1976, Mrs Veazey was my chaperone to the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City. She meant so much to me... she was the sweetest, nicest person. We had so many wonderful talks. I remember how hard she laughed when I explained I couldn't eat chicken because of my pet hen, Ralph. She was so nice, but strong when strength was needed.
Her strength & wise counsel helped me to make history in a very difficult racial climate. Mrs. Veazey, THANK YOU!
With Love...
Rest in CHRIST.
