I met Veronique in 1990, shortly after I began working at Bell Labs. Since I was newly hired, I was assigned to various offices as a fill-in Administrative Assistant when the regular secretaries could not be there. On one of these assignments, I shared an office with Veronique, and we immediately hit it off. We became good friends and that friendship lasted even after she left Bell Labs.
For many years Sudhir and Veronique would open their home to me and made me feel like family. They introduced me to my 2nd husband, and she was a bridesmaid and he a groomsman at my wedding. Year after year they would invite us over for New Year’s Eve parties, birthday parties, and just fun get-togethers, all of which I greatly enjoyed.
I’m sorry that I was not as good as I should have been with keeping in touch with Veronique in more recent years, but I always cherished her friendship, and I will miss her.
Her friend, Tracy Craddock
