I want to express my deepest sympathy to Aunt Violas family. I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I am the youngest daughter of Harry and Lillian Anderson and how my mother loved her brother Uncle William.
My memories will allways be filled with the summer vacations that mom and dad went to Marianna to visit her Brother.
My memories include visiting at your home and the animals to include the horse that my mother tried to ride and all the kids, what a wonderful fun filled time for a little city girl.
I remember how every one seemed so happy and the laughter not to mention when we all sat down to eat the food your mom prepared.
Know that your mother and the memories I have will always be in my heart.
Even though we are not close as cousins and time and life has brought us apart I will always cherish the memories I have.
Sincerly Barbara Anderson-Ursch

Aunt Viola was such a great lady. Although I dident see as much and visit as often as I wanted after moving to Illinois she made such a good impression on me.

Her husband was my Mothers brother (Lillian Harris Anderson)

She will be missed.
