Jim, Carol and family,
I was so sorry to hear that Viola had passed away. She and Bud were an integral part of my childhood. They were always kind to me. I enjoyed visiting them on my way to or back from grandma's, chatting at the kitchen table or while we were all in the backyard or the garden. After I grew up, I appreciated that she was just as kind to my children when they were at my mom and dad's house.

Jim, Carol, and family,
I have so many memories of your mom. It would be impossible to list them all. We were neighbors for almost fifty years. She always remembered my birthday. I looked forward to receiving her card in the mail, even though she could of just handed it to me.
I remember the turkey noodle soup that she would make the day after Thanksgiving. It was so good. She would call me to come pick it up. It would be hot off the stove in a shiny pot. I would take the whole pot home. I could hardly wait to get it home to try it. My mom and would get spoons and have a taste right away.
Your mom will be missed by so many people and I am one of them.
