Aunt Violet was an amazing lady! Always quick with a hug, wearing that sweet smile, she never failed to tell me she loved me, no matter where we met. Her spirit to not only survive, but thrive has been an inspiration, only surpassed by her fervent love for her family. She will forever be a rare treasure in my heart and memories. All my love for each one of my precious cousins. Lynne Holcombe Clayton

Dear Violet, you were loved by so many. A very special lady.

I loved Violet as my second mother. She kept Amy and Cassie so that I could work in the summer time. She was always there for their ball games and on her 60th birthday, we flew to Memphis to visit Graceland just the 2 of us. I will never forget all the family gatherings, the laughter and love. Please know that you all are in my prayers, my heart breaks. RIP Ms. Violet, I love you:heart:
