Mama Violet:
I will always have great memories of you as a stong willed, sweet, generous person who would always do anything you could to help others. Jesus had given us 10 more years to enjoy with you after your heart transplant and those years will always be in the hearts of your family and friends. I know you are in heaven now where you are free of pain and are joined with those family members and friends who pre-deceased you. Rest in peace Mama Violet, you will always be in our thoughts and prayers and we will see you again one day in the presence of Jesus Our Savior.
I will always love you,
