The family of Ambrose McCormick sends their condolences to the family of Viola Berger. Our dad continued his Iowa friendship with Viola all the years they both lived in Milwaukee. We will miss our visits with Viola. She was a source for us to learn about our dad's early years and life in Iowa. She will be missed.

On behalf of my brother Hubert(Hubie), Donna, and me, Bernard(hermie) Hermanson,we send our condolences on Viola's passing. I remember when Viola and Eddie, Gladys and Harold would come for a visit to Waukon. It was always such a special, exciting time when relatives visited, and especially when Viola came to town.

On behalf of my brothers and sister, Ron Hermanson, Larry Hermanson, Verna Hermanson-Moey-Meyer, we share our condolences to Gladys and Leland today in the passing of our aunt, Viola. Our father, Vernon Hermanson, was so fond of his sisters from Milwaukee. As a child I remember Viola and Eddie coming to visit our farm in Taylors Falls, Minnesota. Viola had such a fun loving spirit. I vowed to grow up with that same spirit. She'll be missed.
