My Aunt Ola Salzgaber spoke of Violet often and I could tell she was a very special person. Last year I had the pleasure of meeting Violet when I took some items of my aunts to her home related to the Thea Court. We had a wonderful visit and talked for a long time. It was then that I new how special Violet was. I will miss our phone conversations too.
Please accept my deepest sympathies, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry to know of the passing of Violet. She was a great lady and gave so much of herself to others. There are thousands of children who recovered their birthright in Shriner's Hospitals because Violet cared.

You are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. We send
