Aunt Viola,

On this day and every day I think of you and the vibrant, big hearted soul you were. You were more than my Aunt, you were my friend, confidante, and my mentor in more ways than one. I love you today, tomorrow and miss you even more.  

Rest in Forever Peace Mookie. 

Love,

Toi

To Allen, Rae, and Quinten: you are dear cousins and we have  temporary been parted from our love one and best friend and cry we will but don’t cry as one with no hope because God is our strength and is with us for all needs, lean on him and he will console us. We Love you and will ever carry Viola in our heart. Conella and Emma

Mookie you will be missed but we had great memories on Waco St may you rest peaceful now 
My prayers to the family

When I was wedding planning with mom, we opened her wedding dress and  lace veil at one of my fittings. Her lace, cathedral- length veil had been boxed for 45 years and it was in pristine condition. This was her reaction as her veil was unboxed. Seeing my mom so over joyed became one of my treasured  moments with her. 
I was honored to wear my moms veil on my wedding day it was these special moments we shared together during that time that were some of my favorites with her. 

Mom Boute' was a beautiful soul. 
She made you feel like you already knew her.
 She was friendly and warm, with the sweetest disposition. Aalways with open arms.
 And although at 1st glance quiet, she would make statements sometimes to really make you  laugh, take you back.  
 ..with Rae and I  being joined at the hip, I spent a lot of time at her home.  The endless summer nights and weekends.
She was so involved and present, she knew everything going on, she spent so much time with us, and that's into college.we both have stories of our moms calling checking on us in our 20's 
 I can't tell you how many times new faces came in-and-out of their home . A rotation sometimes on the couch of aspiring artists, friends, family,  everyone. 
Mom Boutte' was loving And always had Room for whoever needed  It. Her sweet spirit was magnetic. 
 She was a wonderful cook,She could also make the most  simplist things taste so wonderful!   She seemed to take joy in feeding you. Mom Boutte' loved on you. She loved my sister, my mom, and my children just the same.
 I don't think that she delighted in more of a role than being mom. Rae and Quinton were her world. (Let them know Lord, she'll be right there, in their hearts.)

I know she will  be greatly missed by so many.
And even though, by blood,  she wasn't my mom , or my sgrandmother, or my aunt, she always
 made me feel like I was a part of her family. 

Rest well Mom Boutte',  in the hands of the Everlasting💗
Lovingly,  Tasha

My prayers are with the Boutte family during this very difficult time of loss.  Please continue to trust in the Lord for your comfort and strength.  May God Bless each of you.

Love and Prayers to the Family. May she rest in Peace.

Didn't personally know this beautiful lady, my husband and I know Allen. We know how much he loved her. Always wanting the very best for her and his family. May she now receive her heavenly reward. May God grant all of you peace as you go through this difficult time.  Edgar and Mary Jackson 

May my words comfort you, Coco, Toi and the entire family of Viola Boutte.
 The tide recedes but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand. The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land. The Music Stops, and yet it echoes on sweet 
reframes...For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains.
Sending you all of my love and my prayers,

I was one of the Ebony Girls a group Viola was also a member. It was always a pleasure seeing her she had such a warm presence. I also enjoyed the time she welcomed the Ebony Girls to her home we had such a wonderful time.  I send my condolences to the family. Love and blessings. 💕

It was a blessing having you as my sister in law, but you were actually more of a little sister with   a big heart. I am sure your sisters are there with you.  Rest in peace.

Aunt Mookie, it’s not to many people like you. An amazing wife, mother, and sister all in one. I have so many memories of you which makes me smile. The nights i stayed over and you cooked my favorite meals no matter the time. The days you opened your home too me, my mother, my sister and my beautiful daughters without notice. Nobody could tell you about your family, and that’s what made you the Queen you are. I know you have some company up there give Lee Lee,  Papa, and Gala a kiss for me. Rest Well my angel, Tiko 

It was a blessing to be your niece and I thank God he chose  you to be my Aunt. Time has ceased but cherished memories and our love for you  will linger forever. Rest in peace Aunt Viola.
