Nelson, Gary and families. Sorry to hear your Mom's passing. I have such fond memories from growing up with you on Gillespie Ave. Your Mom had a beautiful smile. May your memories give you comfort during this time.

I knew Violet through CALSA (Charlottesville Albemarle Legal Secretaries Assn) and as a fellow UVA Women´s Basketball fan. She was a bright presence always and will be missed.
