Teta Vera je bila sestra najinega starega očeta Toneta. Čeprav je nisva dostikrat srečali v živo, si jo bova za vedno zapomnili po njeni neizmerni dobri volji, ki jo je izžarevala ob vsakem obisku, v vsakem telefonskem pogovoru, sedaj, v modernejših časih, pa tudi na videoposnetkih, ki nam jih je na naše veliko veselje redno pošiljal Vladi. Ko se je pred več kot desetletjem v Kovačevi hiši v Knežaku zbralo vseh sedem še živečih kovačevih sester in bratov, se je iz kuhinje slišal glasen smeh in prerekanje o stvareh, ki so se zgodile pred petdesetimi leti. Kot da je od takrat minil le kak teden in niso vmes že vsi odrasli, se nekateri odselili po svetu in, hvalabogu, že takrat dočakali lepo in visoko starost. Z velikim spoštovanjem se bova spominjali tete Vere, ki se je mlada in lepa pogumno odpravila iskat boljše življenje čez ocean, nikoli pa ni pozabila od kje prihaja. Vsej družini izrekava najgloblje sožalje in vam želiva, da bi z mislijo na Verino dobro voljo, iskriv smeh in brezmejno ljubezen lažje premagali ta težki čas ločitve.
Aunt Vera was the sister of our grandfather Tone from Knežak, Slovenia. Even though we didn't meet her many times in person, we will always remember her as a strong, fearless woman of extraordinary goodwill and high spirits. Every phone conversation or just a random video sent to us by Vladi, was full of her optimism, sparkling laughter, even happy singing. We all enjoyed hearing and seeing her, she never failed to brighten our day. One of our fondest memories of her and her siblings is from more than a decade ago, when all 7 living children from Kovačeva house gathered together under the same roof for what turned out to be the last such occasion. From the porch outside the house we could hear loud laughter as well as friendly, but heated and opinionated discussions about matters that happened about 50 years ago. Like nothing happened in between, as if only a week has passed and as if they haven't grown up in between, some of them even changing countries and continents and all of them becoming hardy and strong seniors.
We express our deepest condolences to the whole family. May the memories of her loving, happy persona help you steer through these difficult times of loss. We will honor aunt Vera's memory by trying to be as good willed and fearless women as she was.
Andreja and Petra Slavec
