She was an invaluable leader, but it was her kindness, generosity, and unwavering support that truly defined her.

Through eight years of building something we had no idea how to start, we figured it out together and as a team. We learned to run machines we had never seen before, solved problems we never imagined, and helped grow a tiny business into one that serves clients across the country today.

Her fingerprints are on everything we have built. More than our Warehouse Manager, Verito was the heart of our team. Her legacy will continue to live on through Lola Valentina, in our hearts, in the lessons she left behind, and in the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her.
