Heartbroken to hear of her passing. In a lot of ways, I consider her a second Mom to me while growing up in our neighborhood. Many good memories.
Veronica was a great lady & dear friend. A special person with such a laugh & sense of humor. I will truly miss her so. Such a strong person & survivor of so much in her life she endured. Truly her faith carried her through this all, that made her even a stronger woman. I always laugh & said she had 9 lives like a cat. A lady that took an interest in everyone & with such a loving caring heart. A great big heart of gold she passed that quality down on to her family. I’m thankful that I got to know her. My high school friends Mother, & that became my friend too. There are to many memories to share of special stories shared with her. Especially ones that would make you blush , but smile & laugh. Miss you so, t okill I see you again with my MOM & Scott up in Heaven. I’m sure your up there in charge of important things, but never a dull moment. Your truly an angel of love & joy. My heart goes out & thinking of the entire Schillig Family. 🙏😢❤
Extending our deepest sympathy to the Schillig family on Veronica’s passing. Many happy memories of all the families that made Harrisburg and Sacred Heart such a great place for us to grow up in and enjoy the closeness of our Catholic community.
