Viola G. Devany

My sincerest sympathy for your loss. It was my pleasure to care for your mother. She was a very remarkable woman.

Rose, and family, I would like to send my sincerest and heartfelt sympathies in the loss of your Mother, and a little late, but also for your Dad. My heart goes out to all of you.

We wish to send our sincerest of heartfelt thoughts your way.

Grace,
I remember how your Mom scared me when I first met her all those years ago. She sounded so stern and could inspire fear with one of her “looks”! But it didn’t take long to figure out that she was putting on a really good front. I came to know her as a sweet, kind, funny, compassionate person with a heart of gold. She was one of the few moms I knew who raised a family and worked outside the home – and she did both equally well. Even more impressive was her ability to be totally...

Alice, Rose, Grace, Tom, Vi, Carolyn and Julie -- and families:

What a wonderful photo and life story of Aunt Viola. I am sorry that I cannot be with you this week, but know that you are in our thoughts and prayers, as all of you have been this year.

Grace and the Devany family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I consider us all extremely lucky to have had so many years with our parents. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers and if there is anything at all you need, do not hesitate to call.

To The Devany Family:
I worked with Vi years ago as a unit secretary at Akron City (and also worked for Erwin Maseeall for years.) I can still here her voice and see her smiling face. She was a sweetheart. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Devany children,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Vi was a client and friend for many years. She always brightened my day when I did her hair. I loved her laugh,and her passion for her children and grandchildren.
She will be safe in heaven with her true love, your wonderful dad Tom.

Dear Devany family,

My six siblings and I were so touched that you came to our mom's calling hours the day after your mom died! Then, seeing you at St. Vincent Church for the Mass yesterday was such a comfort.

Your mother was a colorful, intelligent, loving woman who always made me feel special and welcome in your home. I loved her manner of speaking and her unique expressions. I can still see her in my mind's eye, wearing one of her pastel cotton dresses.
