I met Violet on my Meals-on-Wheels route and always looked forward to seeing her. She was so proud to still be living in her home for so long. She was always optimistic and liked to share pictures and stories of family.

bestemor.. du alltid vil forbli i våre hjerter

Gram was a beautiful person, inside and out. She taught me that the simple things in life were most important. Her love for all of us was genuine, as was she. She was the glue that kept our family together.. a true matriach.

I will miss her and love her forever and always

My family and I offer our sympathies and our prayers to Violet's family on the passing of a very special woman. I have never met Violet but I learned a little bit about her from her granddaughter, Lisa Collins, whom I work with. Lisa always spoke very lovingly of her. As Violet enjoys the beauty and reward of Heaven, may her family receive comfort and peace in the days ahead.
