My deepest condolences to the Frazier family. What a wonderful person Viola was, I never heard her say a harsh word to anyone. She was a person who always had a smile on her face & a heart with room for many friends. She & I work together at the hospital. Ocassionally I would see her at Broadway Auto Parts. May our Lord give her eternal rest.
