Darrell I didn't know that Viola had passed away, president Anderson told me when I text him about a week ago. I have been listening to her funeral it was very nice, many people loved her. We used to go Relief Society teaching together. She was always ready to go each month sometimes having to talk me into going. It was such a shock l still don't know how she died. Darrell it must have been terrible for you, from what I was told it was very sudden. Glenn's death was a blessing for me and the family. He had dementia and we couldn't keep him safe. Of course we miss him but I am not sad because I know it will not be too much longer before I can join him. I am living with my daughter in West Jordan closer to the Oquirh mountain. I have my own small place that is apart from the rest of the home. I am very happy here and live in a wonderful ward. I have made many friends. I hope you can find some peace and as time rolls by it will be easier for you. So sorry. Jean Turpin.
I was so socked to hear of Viola's death and pray that God will comfort her family. I never met Viola only know her through the emails she sent but I feel so sad for her family and friends for her loss, so sudden. I can only say that you are in my prayers and I pray God's love will see you through this. Again can I how sorry I am for your loss.
so sorry to hear of your Loss, Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you and your Family. GOD Bless, GOD speed my friend.
Matt, Courtney, and family
We are so sorry for your loss. Our heart goes out to all of you.
