To Somerbreze, the Hines and Jones Family:
Aunt Viola was a constant presence in my life growing up as I spent many days with Samartha in the family residence. Aunt Vie and Grandma Cora always took good care of us and made sure we knew the proper way to carry ourselves as young women. I pray that God's love and light will surround and keep you all. May He continue to supply all of your needs and keep you in His perfect peace. Love and hugs to all of you.

To Somerbreze and Family, "My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family." Viola was a lifetime friend, childhood playmate and classmate (class of 71). God knows the depth of your love and only He can bring the comfort your heart needs. Praying that He'll continue to be your strength and give you peace as you go through this. RIP Viola
