We will be thinking about all the great times we had with Vi. I will send a contribution to her church to honor this wonderful lady. Vi gave me a rosary and a beautiful book of prayers. Loved her.

While I didn't know Viola as a child, I did know some of her younger siblings, growing up as a child near Fairview, Kansas. What a nice surprise to discover one day that someone else who lived at Lakeview Village also graduated from FHS. We had some nice visits. She was a lovely lady. Heartfelt sympathy to her whole family.
