I sympathasize with you at the loss of Violet, your mother; sister; grandmother; aunt and friend. I remember her well. I was young and abandoned by my family living or visiting with those who were kind to me. Being a friend of Donna’s, her mom and dad let me live with them for a summer and let me stay with them during a Christmas break from school in Kansas. Violet was always kind to me and was a piece of the puzzle that let me get my life together and go on to a productive adulthood. I had a few chances to visit with her when she lived in North Dakota. She continued to have that ready laugh and fun spirit. During this sad time I hope you find peace in believeing she is not in the grave, but soaring on and waiting to greet you on your eternal journey, May God bless each of you.
