Still remembering Vi and the fun we shared at the YMCA I still color flowers violet in her memory

Remembering dear friend, I color pictures and always color flowers violet for her

I think of you often dear friend and miss you very much. When I color little flowers I color them Violet in your honor and remembers CE I still have the cards you gave me on my bulletin board in my kitchen. Love you Always, Rosy

When I color little flowers, I always color them Violet for her and remember Vi ❤ Today in water aerobics we got in a circle and said our name and a flower starting with the first letter in our name. Our friend Versy said Violet and we knew it was for our dear friend. I still have the birthday card she gave me on my bulletin board

Joann,Im so sorry for loss of your Mom,my brother told me last week I hope your doing well. Reed

Susan, I am so sorry for the loss of your mom,I know it will be a difficult time for you, just know I am thinking about you and your family now.. Take care of your self..

Vi & her husband Melvin were our neighbors for many, many years (until my dad, Harry Morrison passed @ 405 Wallace in 2006)-Vi would always give us a sample of her herbs/veggies/grapes she grew in the back yard. My husband, Mike would help them with handyman deeds & enjoyed their company while doing so. The day of my dads funeral, Vi was a Godsend to us as we were so busy w/arrangements, etc-she brought us a huge meat/cheese tray to eat-we will always remember & be thankful for all that she...

I will miss your mom greatly...even though I didn't get to see her much in the past several years, I will always remember how her smile could light up a room. She had a way of making everyone feel special and loved. She will always have a place in my heart.

Vi was my Girl Scout leader 47yrs ago as well. We had a GREAT time at Camp McCormick. We learned a lot of things from Vi and Shirley. I went to school with Becky and my husband went to school with Sue. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
