Carl & Sheila Nicholl

In memory of a loving mother, devoted Grandmother, and a tolerant mother-in-law. Viola was there for her grandson Gregory Mark Nicholl during his darkest hour and was rewarded by Greg's two precious great grandchildren (Zoe & Ethan Nicholl). Kyle Nicholl her grandson from Amarillo, Texas had the privilege of spending well over an hour with Viola just days before she called home by our LORD. Sheila was able to visit by phone with Viola a few days ago. On behalf of Carl, Sheila, Gregory & Kyle Nicholl we will miss Viola and celebrate her reunion with Earl, Bill and all who passed before her.
