Bob and I send our deepest sympathy to Terri and the family. We only knew Violet for a short time and wished we could have known her longer. RIP Violet.

I only met Mrs Tolton twice, but found her to be so sweet and very interesting. I will miss getting to know and talk to her more. Rest In Peace 🙏🏻

I’m so sorry to hear about Violet, she might’ve “only” been my 2nd cousin, but I loved her dearly and she was one of my FAVORITE people in my WHOLE family. She was also my parents’ Maid of Honor at their wedding in July, 1951. And she and I used to have good conversations etc. God Speed Violet.
