Violet Thurman

Vi, you were a great lady, who was independent and loving. I will miss seeing you at the Retreat. I love you.

Mom, I love you. Here's lots of hugs. Thank you for fighting to keep us all together when we were kids -- and loving us more than we will ever know.

I honor the memory of my mother-in-law by expressing my deep gratitude for her hard work and love for her family. Her spirit of determination lives on in them. I am blessed to be married to her firstborn son, so I am privileged to see her reflection in him. You will be missed, Ma, but we will cherish your memory as long as we live. My heart's desire is to see you again one day where there is no pain, but only endless joy and praises to the Lamb!
