Two years ago I moved to Asheville & had the pleasure of meeting Vi thru the Women’s Guild at St. Eugene’s Church. She was friendly and a delight to know. I will miss her sweet smile and wonderful personality. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Sincere sympathy to you, her family.

Dear Family,
I was unaware of Viola’s death back in December until today (Feb. 9th).
I have done plumbing work for Viola over the last number of years. She has always been a pleasure to work for. Matter of fact, it was mid-Nov. when I last saw her at her house on Dogwood Knoll. She was always a delight to work for and if I had a more customers like her, I would be blessed beyond belief. I will be praying for you as you continue to heal over the loss of this special lady.
