Not sure what to say?

I truly miss her smile she had an amazing soul. She was full of love her light shined bright

Violet was a wonderful lady. We are sorry that she is no longer with us.

Violet attended The Salvation Army Church and that is where I met her. She was a very beautiful lady, kind and full of Gods Grace. She will be missed but always thought of....a woman who always showed her inner beauty and light to all who knew her.
