Momma, Granny, GG will be missed more than can be expressed.

Also for loving her church family and many others who won't be named, but, never forgotten.

Kay, Dave and family, Amanda and family and all Violet's children, grandchildren and great grandchildren I am so sorry for your loss. When we visited Kay her Mom was often there and always had a smile for us and a special attention for my husband which meant so much to me. I didn't know her very well, but well enough to know the love she had for her family and especially her grandchildren. You can see on pictures the greatest smiles are when she is with those little ones. I believe she is with the Lord today and I believe Al and Frank were there to greet her-along with a host of family and friends. We will see her again, but will be missing her in the interval. Life is fragile. Love one another.
