Viola Moriarty

I had a great time traveling with Jon, your daughters and grandchildren to Chile. You and Jon have done well.

Vi was so good at being a friend. She was my friend; she was brave; and she was the truest person I ever met. I loved her and I miss her.

Vi was one of the most incredible and inspiring people I have ever met. She was a genuine beauty, inside and out. I am so thankful to have sat for her and to have one of her paintings, I will cherish it always. My thoughts are with you Jon, Anna, and Phoebe. xoxo, Tara

Vi let her divine light shine through everything she touched and shared it with all of us in her presence.I feel honored to have spent even the short bursts of time together. She was inspired and inspiring. I light a candle daily for her and Phoebe, Anna and Jon.

Viola was a wonderful source of support in helping our school district begin the hard work of serving English Language Learners. She understood the difficulties everyone faced and made suggestions that helped move things in a positive direction. My prayers go out to Jon and all the family. Thanks for loaning her positive spirit.

Viola will be missed dearly. I remember her from when I worked at Staples Copy Center in Bennington, where she would always bring her artwork in. She was always a joy!! May she rest in peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Jon. I know it has been a tough time for all of you but your friends in the Berkshire Educational Community are here to support you.

My warm thoughts go out to you. I know it was a tough and loving journey.
Vi touched so many people with her art and spirit. She will not be forgotten.

I will always remember Vi's free spirit and gentleness with her students. She was a blessing to have as a colleague. My heart goes out to you, Jon, and the girls.
