Veronica (Vern) is one of Ruhiyyih's closest friends. They became friends in junior high school. Vern spent many nights at sleep-overs at our house, and Ruhiyyih rented a room in her house a few years ago when Vern's husband was in military duty in Korea for months at a time. Vern is a dental assistant, but is a full-time mom right now. Justin is a sweet little guy, just so squeezable and full of giggles and smiles. He was the hit of the party - sorry, Ruhiyyih.
