Dear Jim,
We will miss Violet so much. She was such a special woman. I loved her laugh. She was so accomplished at everything she did and a great neighbor and friend. You have our deepest sympathy.

My thoughts are with the family. I was also a classmate of Violet. We enjoyed having her join us for lunch before she moved to Oregon. She was a good hearted lady and will be missed by her classmates, the great class of 1954. Visit our website at www.classreport.org/usa/ca/lodi/lhs/1954/
