I was so sorry to read of Viola's passing. My sincere condolences to her entire family. When I first met Viola many years ago, she was a shy young girl and through the years she grew in to a strong and courageous woman. I loved her laugh and her smile - Viola was a very special person who willed be missed by the many who knew her.
