I have some 50 years plus beautiful memories, I loved Vi and Jim, Holidays,vacations,Family outing, Birthdays, Anniversary’s, Weddings, Graduations, Family Reunions, Cousins club, Church, Many wonderful Blessings of Vi and Jim, I love them both sooo much, Gods Blessings xoxxo 

There is no specific memory, I'll simply miss Grandma. The many conversations, her personality and lightness, her hopes and (many) worries. She was one of a kind.

Favorite? Too many. I will say I was blessed to have been able to have spent so much time with her, especially these past few years.  I loved that she never stopped pulling for me, she was my champion. Even right before the end, where she, in true, gentle Violet Miller fashion , let the Nice Mover Man know I was looking for a job (she was always so worried about that) and that I'd be a great fit. She was the best Partner in Crime. Love you Gramdma

When I think of Aunt Vi, I think of laughter, compassion, love, family, acceptance, joy and a HUGE smile. The years of camping when we were all little and especially the Trebesch Family Reunions.  Singing around the campfire, making pizza and sausages and eating too much corn on the cob.  She was always in the middle of the action.  The one thing that will stand out for me is the Love her and Uncle Jim had for each other.  64 years is a long time to be with someone and you could always tell, that was were they wanted to be.  They set an example for the rest of us to live up to.

I just remember that g-ma was a very warm person. She accepted me in as a grandchild like I was there all along. She recognized things that were important to me and was a great example of being strong, but also being kind.  She was also hilarious. When in doubt deny deny☺️. She was loving and kept her family together. I admire her for that trait most of all. She will be missed. 

I have so many memories of Gram. Countless really. She always told it as it was, like our family motto suggests 'swiftly; harshly'. Gram would always do anything for any of us. I remember when I was young my favorite Christmas ever was the one we all stayed super super late watching OLD movies. Grammy loved Christmas, she loved it anytime we were all together. Two Christmases ago I brought over Watch yo Mouth (a game where you put a weird mouth piece in and try and say phrases) to relive our Win, Lose, or Draw days and Gram's teeth fell out when it was her turn. I think she almost peed her pants! I know all of us did. As a child I will always remember going to visit Gram and Pa in golf shores. And anytime we went over to their house getting off the freeway at the big M, and getting in trouble with Marcus and Mike. Jude and Harper are so lucky to have had many years with their GiGi and they will always remember how kind she was....and how she let them get away with everything! And of course their little bin of toys she insisted on having for them! The love she had for all of us and the amazing love her and Pa had for one another will always inspire me to live my best life. I love you Gram 

Vi and I go back along way,Camping, Birthdays,Graduations,reunions,wWeddings, Anniversaries,Babies,much more, one of my favs was Cousins club,, what great great Memories, I love you Vi and Jim xoxxo Blessings 

One thing I will never forget we were sitting by the fire at a reunion. Chatting and Aunt Vi  said to me. Remember family is always family. They will talk about you; not tell the whole truth about circumstances, but we all will back you because we are family. 1981. She blessed my heart with her unjudgmental words. 

I remember Vi’s love of laughter.  Way back in the early 50’s, I remember her singing “My God and I” at Grandpa and Grandma Trebesch’s 50th wedding anniversary service.  Most of all, I remember when she had a crush on Dominic who lived across the street from Aunt Louise Dohn.  She and Dominic and my sister Lois came driving up in Dominic’s “cool” car.  Funny how some memories leave lasting impressions.  I know you miss Vi, Jim and Family.  Our sincerest sympathy.

I’m yet to meet someone who can cheat when playing cards as well as Grandma could. And certainly no one can deny the accusation like she could!

Dear Jim and Family:  We had some of the best years of our lives when we were your across -the- street neighbors. We cherish the memories of those years and appreciated how we could depend on your help and advice when needed.  We viewed the Obituary "Tribute Movie".  It reflects a life well lived among many loving family members.
Love and Prayers, Sal and Joanne DiFranco.
