I enjoyed Voilet's twinkle in her eye followed by her smile. Her time with us was short. I enjoyed seeing her at The Festival of the River. May your memories give you comfort in the days ahead. Memory Eternal.
Hugs:) Mrs. Lundberg

I will cherish my memories of Violet from the years we spent in school together, from riding the bus in elementary school all the way through high school. My heart goes out to her family, although I am unable to attend her services I wish I could be ther and you will all be in my thoughts.
