My deepest symparthy to all of Violets family. Being a volunteer on the Palliative care unit I really came to know and love Violet. What a beautiful lady!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I actually was in Parkwood on Wed. for another volunteer job, but I did sit with Violet for a time in the afternoon. I'm so glad I did. She had a very winning smile that always warmed my heart. I feel lucky to have known her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, Mary Vernon
We are deeply saddened to hear of Vi's passing - she was a bright light in Fred's life, and through him, in ours. We were lucky to have had the opportunity to know her! Her joy in every day, her wonderful smile, and her kindness and compassion will be missed. Our condolences to you all as you work through this time of mourning. We have a candle burning in her memory here. Thinking of you all. Love, Doug & Kimberly Nix - Kitchener Margaret Nix- Waterloo Suzanne & Art Dyck and family - Waterloo Jim & Renate Nix and family - Calgary
My best to all the family. Vi was a wonderful friend.
