My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Viola at JMB and not a day went by that she didn't make us smile. She was truly a pleasure to work with and will be missed. We send our regrets to her family and friends.

While we had only just met Vi recently, we have seen great evidence of the wonderful woman she was in the individual family members we know, and what wonderful people they are. In the course of this past week, we have lifted you all in prayer. May the Peace of God carry you through this difficult time, and may the joy of having Vi as your mother, grandmother and great-grandma come to overwhelm the grief that now consumes you. Godspeed. Ed and Nancy Harms, and Janet Cruikshank

I am so sorry about the loss of Vi and will so miss not being able to go to lunch with her when I come to town. She was such a good neighbor and Vi, Mary and I always took care of each other. She loved life and always had fun, wherever she went. I know the pain of losing a mother and want you you to know that your family is in my prayers at this difficult time.

Dear Bobby, Richey, Kathy, Debbie, and Barbara, I was devastated to hear about your mom. Please accept my deepest sympathy and be comforted in knowiing your mom is now with God. I know the pain in losing a parent and husband and yet I know they are in a much better place. As your neighbor while you were growing up, I have many fond memories of your sweet, smiling, laughing mom. Your mom always made time to give my mom a call and keep in touch with her and those calls meant a world to mom. Again, your mom will be missed and we all loved her deeply. May God be with all of you. Our love, Kay Reynolds Adame, and Frances Reynolds

I am a member of Calvary Chapel Church here in Liberty Mo. and I just want to let you kids know there are hundreds of people praying for you. It's not easy loosing a father or a mother. Sometimes even at your age you feel abandoned. They were your link to stability. The things she leaves behind have also lost their life. You'll hold on to them for a while and eventually you give most all of them to your own children. I've only called your mother a couple of times, but she has called me quite often, her laughter has always made me feel good about myself. This probably won't mean much to you right now, but I care for you, and my compassion goes out to you at this trying time in your life. May God open the windows of heaven and pour out such blessings of his love on you, that it over flows, because you cannot contain it all. Phyllis Combs

We so sorry for the loss of your mom and grandma. Justin and I have many great memories of her.
She was always smiling and had something sweet to say. Knowing her these many years has been a pleasure.

Please remember that our thoughts are with you all and may the
comfort of knowing that you have another guardian angel watching over you help ease some of the pain.
