We are so sorry to hear about Vi; my Mother has been trying to call her and just found out about her passing. She was so kind and had such a sweet spirit.

Vi will be missed by so many people she was a wonderful lady and I loved her so much. I worked with her at Hazelwood Hospital and after she retired we went to dinner once a month for over 20 years she was such a joy to be around and taught me so many life lessons. She was someone you could share troubles, joy, and life with. I will miss you Vi thanks for being part of my life.

Although I was young the last time I saw Aunt Violet and Roger I will never forget her. She was wonderful to me, sweet, kind and loving. We need more people in the world like her.

Did you ever have a sweet friend much older than yourself to just love you and mentor you through the years? My dear friend, Ms. Vi, was one special friend and sister to me. She taught me many things, she showed me faithfulness in relying on God and how to endure the hard struggles of life. She spoke soft and prayed hard. She lent courage to me in times of health issues and let me know when I had a better choice in some of my decisions. I would just like to give her honor and praise my dear Lord, for placing her in my life. Her days have come to a close here on this earth, but, she will forever be in my heart and I will miss the gift of my sweet 90 year old teacher and friend. So long for now…You are loved.
