Condolences
The family of Violet M. Barry has received the following condolences.
We were so sorry to hear of Vi's passing. We just learned of it at Sherrie's funeral on Thursday night. May it comfort you to know that the whole gang is back together again. They all had such wonderful times together and left such great memories for all of us. Our deepest sympathy to you all.
Rennie, Dave and family,
Jim & I want you to know you all are in our thoughts and prayers. What a wonderful, kind and caring Mom you had to enjoy for so many years. I have so many great memories of her letting me stay with your family when I was young, I will treasure her always as my second mother. We are uncertain at this time whether we will make it to her service due to our January weather. Please know we will be with you in spirit and celebrating the life of Violet.
Vicki and Jim
Renie and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I will always have the fondest memories of both Aunt Vi and Uncle Ambrose. I can remember being fairly young and all of us at the house for Christmas, there was alot of us. When I would visit in later years Aunt Vi always made me a banana cream pie. Even tho I have not seen her in many years, I do cherish the memories of her.
Thoughts are with you today and always..
