I’m sharing a couple pictures of Aunt Vi holding me in 1979 and hold my son Tyler in 1997.
Viola was my favorite auntie! Very sweet and very caring. My mom and I would always go over to her house to visit and hang out. While they were talking and chatting up a storm, I would be in her kitchen trying to find snacks to eat. Lol.
When my son Tyler was born, Vi helped my mom throw a baby shower for me, at her house. I’m going to miss how kind she was. Especially at the time when I was going through a deep depression and feeling like I had no one, after my parents passed away. She would call me up, ask how I was doing, let me know that I wasn’t alone and tell me that she was there for me if I needed someone to talk to. ♥️
