I remember when Viola first gone to my parents to ask if she can have there daughter Sandra do some work for her, that daughter was me, Saundra aka Sandy Bob. I done housework and knitting for her.
She treated me like I was a close family member, I really enjoyed working for her and just been with her. I remember of spending nights just so she can get that last sweater finished,cause the sweater buyer was going to be there the following day.
I remember of the girl talks we use to have. She always made me feel right at home whenever I was around her. I remember the meals she would prepare for me before we get started on our knitting, and remembering the nice smell in the home of that home cooked meal. There are so many memories I have of my friend Viola and I will miss her dearly. It was a great pleasure of knowing Viola.
