We will never forget how Violet and Dale welcomed us into their home without having ever met them before, insisting we not stay in a motel when our children were married. We remained good friends. Now Violet gets to join her wonderful husband again ❤️ 💙
Thinking of you and yours,
Pam Strope, Board of Directors, And Miller County Ambulance District employees.
She had the warmest, friendliest smile and always made us feel welcome. Prayers to all the family.
Many Sympathies to everyone in the family she will truly be missed
Mrs. Violet I am glad I got the opportunity to know her and Dale both are awesome people. And Tricia and her family and Aaron and his family too such wonderful people
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your Mom. – Randy
You were only 11 months younger than me, we seemed almost like twins. Hardly a week ever went by that we didn’t talk on the phone and a memory of something would come up and we would have a good laugh before we hung up. You accomplished so much in your life time. Everything done to perfection. Heaven awaits your entry.
Thoughts and prayers to all of Violet’s family. May God bless all of you as you continue with wonderful memories.
