Vio was all about her husband, her kids and her family. When they gathered together for whatever the event may be. She loved to cook good food for them. Her children knew well how she liked the food prepared. She also had a funny sense of humor. Always making jokes and kidding around. Her laughter was contagious. You couldn’t help yourself when you heard hers.
Vio was blessed with the gift of humility, kindness and joy. She had a warm and gentle nature. Everyone whom she has come in contact with has always said her smiling face and crazy jokes are what make her unique. Her smiling face always brought happiness and tears. What a wonderful person to be around.
Her quiet yet very strong strength, loving spirit, and contagious personality and the love she had for her family is the legacy she leaves behind . She will be sadly missed and remembered by her family and friends forever. We love you forever Mommy.
