Thinking of you in this time losing your loved one,. Viola was a good woman and I always loved being with her. As cousins we had lots of fun times. I always looked up to her and respected her. Although we didn't see each other in the later years, she was always in my heart and I will miss her. God's blessing to each of you. Reta Hudson
