Uncle Roland, Barry & Kim, Brian & Amanda: While distance prevents me from being there in person, my heart and my prayers are certainly with you. Aunt Violet has been part of my life from childhood to this present day. Some of my best memories of her is at home. She would cook and I would wash the dishes. She made some of the best desserts I ever tasted. She loved company, and regardless of how many people came, she would find room at the table and a bed for them to sleep on. She loved to knit, crochet and make plastic canvas crafts and always had a project or two going at the same time. She was always kind and quick to help if she was able. She was a woman of faith, strength and courage. I'm sure these last few years must have been difficult as her health deteriorated, but she faced her challenges head on without complaint or grumbling. I will miss Aunt Violet's presence and her beautiful smile more than words can express, but I take great comfort knowing that she is now free of her suffering and is present with her Lord. Aunt Violet, you have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, you have kept the faith. Well done good and faithful servant.
