My deepest sympathy to cousins Susan and Gayle and their families. It is never easy losing a loved one, but where we can find peace, is knowing that Vi is now with our Lord, resting in eternal peace. Vi was a generous and thoughtful soul... my Mom loved her very much and talked often about her. Viola will live on in my heart.

Love, Gloria

So sorry to hear about Aunt Vi. She was a wonderful woman. Always thinking of everyone else. Kim and I were out of town on vacation but Glad that my Mom and Daughter Nicole was able to make her services. She is a rest now. Can't believe how big her grandchildren are getting. I'm sure they miss her. Love you Vi.

I sure will miss her. She is now with your dad. Love Rosie

So sorry to hear about Aunt Vi. She was truly a lovely person. I have some fabulous memories of her driving my mom, my sister Stacey and me around in her red Mustang convertible! I also remember going to the Civic Opera House to see The Nutcracker for the first time--got all dressed up and wore fishnet stockings at age 5!
