Yes, I do. While we merely honor our parents, we venerate Mary as well as honor her. "All generations will call me blessed".

Then why did you even bring this verse below up as a reason for veneration. Again, where are some examples in the bible of who and how venerate since we have eliminated honor as they are two different words.

Honour thy father and mother (multiple)

In Luke 8 and 11 Jesus gives us reasons to venerate anyone: for their listening to Him and keeping His commandments.

Honoring is a necessary component of veneration.
