We had to talk a lot about death in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic swept around the world and through New Jersey, claiming many current and former members of the Verona community. We also said goodbye to former teachers and school administrators,  non-profit leaders and neighborhood organizers, a former business owner and a former member of Town Council, as well as many friends and neighbors who had enriched our community in countless ways.

Take a minute again to remember them, and the lives they lived:
