Cheryl & Betsi, so sorry to hear of Violet's passing. She & your mom were much loved & gave out much love in return. They were wonderful examples to me & many others of what a good, christian woman looks like. I enjoyed our many years @ church together @ The Marion Nazarene. May the Lord be with you & your family during this time.

Violet was a wonderful Sister in Christ. I always loved our visits together down through the years. A lot of those were during our visits with her sister Joyce. The Steel family (her siblings and in-laws) have been a tremendous blessing to my ministry throughout the years. My heart was so saddened during our last visit, about a week before she went home to be with Jesus and family. I could see it in her face...she was tired and ready to go. God bless you Violet, you've made it home. My...

I know you are not with us, now Sweet Violet. So many things to hold close to my heart. The love you had for roses. Pretty weather would always find you in front porch swing. Of dishes you prepared and liked eating so well. Mainly, when I thought of you was reading your Bible and enjoying Church, so well. I will see you again one day my Aunt Violet and all our loved ones there.
