Additional Comments:

         Violet was my mother's sister. She was also my aunt, but she was 
really more like a cousin because of the similarity in our ages.  She was 
slightly younger than me.  We played together and grew up together as children, 
and we went to the same school at the same time. It was my pleasure and honor 
to perform the wedding ceremony for her and her husband Jim, in June of 2005.
