Not sure what to say?

Words camnot express my sorrow..She was a wonderful mother who was devoted to the care of her family and to living a simple life with a focus on glorifying God, and showing us how to do that by her example. The women of her generation were raised during a more "innocent" time as far as morals go and yet harder times of economic depression and wars- which created a strength of character mixed with a vulnerability that you don't see in generations since...that is why it is sad to see them...

Leif and Viola were wonderful neighbors so many years ago on Dunbar Road. We always remember Viola and Debbie each May Day when they would surprise the neighbors by hanging handmade paper baskets filled with candy and flowers on the front door. Yes, she did have a cute little giggle you could never forget! So glad to hear she had such a nice fulfilling life...God Bless.

Our deepest sympathy. Words, however kind, cannot mend your heartache, but those who care and share your loss wish you comfort and peace in mind. RIP Viola.

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

I rejoice that Viola is with the Lord that she loved for so long. But my heart goes out to all of her children and grandchildren ---loss is hard. I will always smile when I think of Viola way back on Dunbar Rd. She always had a sweet smile and cute little giggle that endeared your heart to her. What a lovely woman she was!

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.
