As Desiree Raffo's daughter, i was fortunate enough to see Ms. Viola in the dining room for supper at Azalea Estates. She was always dressed in some of the prettiest clothes and neat as a pin! She had such a pretty smile and carried herself with such grace!! A true lady in every sense of the word. She will be greatly missed, especially by my mother!

I had the pleasure of working with Miss Viola during her time as a volunteer at Slidell Memorial Hospital. She was a true delight and always upbeat and helpful. She will always have a place in my heart.

Have known this lady since way back in the 1950's when Viola worked at the VA in Biloxi and my mother keep her baby. She was one of the sweetiest ladies I have ever known. Just remember girls you now have an angel in heaven. Regain our friendship when we moved to Slidell in 1964 and Viola was working at Cleco. My Sympathy and prayers go out to the family of Viola.
