My condolences to you David and your family. I will always remember Aunt Vi and Uncle Dave and how wonderful they were to my sister and me growing up. I remember how Aunt Vi would pick up her mother, my mom and take off to shop or have lunch. She would even let my mom drive the golf cart when she and Uncle would play. Such great people. They are missed.

I only knew Violet in her later years at the nursing home, where she was still vibrant on her good days. I always loved to see her out of bed and organizing everyone and everything in the living room and dining room. She was funny and full of life and will be missed!

Vi will be missed and remembered with affection and a measure of awe. I wish I would have been able to spend more time in Vi's company as she was inspirational in her love for her family and the best things in life. Condolences to the Caldarelli family .

I remember Vi as a warm, sweet, lovely lady handing me a cup of french fries with a beautiful smile at Harry's. I am warmed to know that Vi lived such a long life and knew her great grandchildren. Bob Boehm
