Angela, Trudy, Richard and families. Im so sorry to hear that Violet passed away. Have some wonderful memories of Violet growing up. She was like a big sister to me and I loved being in her company as she was always such a giving person. She taught me so much, how to knit, crochet etc. She was also a big part of my siblings lives away back then. Its so sad to lose a family member but she will be at peace now. Thinking of you all at this very difficult time. Sending you all much love and hugs xxx
