To the entire: Coulter/Najieb/Thompson family

Losing Aunt Violet will make it difficult to come home and not to hear her sweet voice. Oh, the memories I will have forever. She always could find something good in anyone. Growing up with Vincent and all the other children she cared for left a great impression on my life. I remember eating Ice Milk, opposed to Ice Cream at the Ruteledge house,never ate it again outside there.

My prayers are with all of you at this time.

Love,
