Not sure what to say?

She was so friendly and nice at the Shadle Hallmark store and I knew her daughter Pat from school. Our prayers to the family. Jann (Janet Bolma) LaCombe, Everett WA


I met Vi about 20 years ago at work(Costco). Vi, and Ross came in often, and she always had a smile on her face.
She would always sing and dance to the tune; "Marie The Dawn Is Breaking" My daughter died a few years ago and Vi and Caroline attended her service, she was just so thoughtful I just loved her. She will greately missed.
Ross and Family you have my deepest sympathy. Marie Maneau

The first time I met Vi, I was interviewing Fenton at their home for a research project. True to form, Vi brought out full tea service, then made to leave Ross and I alone. I asked if she would stay. She obliged, and for the next two hours I don't think we let Ross talk more than once or twice. I only met her a couple more times, but she is a person who always made me want to stand up a little straighter - she inspires the proper in a person - inside and out.

Dear John and Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. Regardless of when, or at what age, we lose our Mom, it is really hard! I have the warmest memories of the visits your Mom would pay to us occasionally at the Commissioners' office. She was truly a gracious and vibrant woman, a true gem!

My condolences to the entire Roskelley family.

My deepest sympathy. I can remember visiting with Vi while she was out in her yard and trick*or*treating at her door every year.Very fond memories of a beautiful woman and wonderful neighbor.

Pat, John and Heather - You had a great Mum. She was always up beat and had a BIG smile and "Hello" to everyone on Heroy. My heart is heavy for you, but very happy I had the pleasure and good fortune of knowing her. She maybe gone but she will always be remembered. My deepest sympathy to you and your entire family.

Pam Miller-Meye and the entire Earl and Scharlee Miller family.

Mom, you were the light in so many lives. Thank you for loving us so much and teaching us right from wrong. Our hearts are with you forever. John
