I was sad to see that Viola passed away. She was a wonderful Talent. I worked with her at the Walnut Street thearter in 1991. What fun we had. May she rest in peace. Paul

Viola was a fabulous comic actress and singer who literally stopped the show in my musical vaudeville Piano Bar. Working with her and getting to know her was a joy for me. I had lost touch and am saddened by this news but she will live on in the laughs she gave me and the audience and her chutzpah and talent.
