Last week, while looking at family photo albums to prepare a memorial slideshow for my dad, I came across several photos of my Auntie Violet and her family. Memories came flooding back of the visits we made to her home and the visits that she made to our home. Auntie Violet, you were an important part of my childhood. You were a warm hearted and gentle person and I can still hear your laugh. You taught your children well and I am sure that you look down on them with pride.
