Dear Tony,Julie, and kids,
It was a warm and moving experience at the funeral yesterday and I am so glad that I was able to experience the entire Viola family. Tony, I never knew your Mom but I know what a special lady she is because of you and all the good that you do for others. I am proud to call you my friend and hope that the Spirit can burn in side of me like it does inside of you. God bless your whole family. Your Kiwanin brother, Tom Mullen

Dear Terri and family, i will remember gathering in the kitchen of your home in Boston with your mother and father and all you kids. I think i had my first cup of coffee with your mother and father. What great times we had and didn't we give them a run for their money (Terri)? Love, Stephanie

My beautiful Mother,
Every day with the miles and smiles, I walked into the house and said, "Hello my beautiful mother", and you responded with "Hello my beautiful daughter" and so, then our day would begin. You are now starting brand new beginnings without me or my greeting! I will miss you so much, but will honor your memory with such love and remembrance. You taught me to celebrate life, be happy, whatever life deals, play your hand with a twinkle in your eye, and a smile on your face. You've touched everyone you've ever met, especially my kids who will miss their Gramma so much! Your a tough act to follow Mrs Viola, but every day this will be my ever loving quest: to be your
Act 2 . I love you Mommy.

To Teri Viola and Family:
Teri - I am a long forgotten Loyola classmate in the Nursing '76 Program. It's just amazing that I had you on my mind for awhile and then I happened to see your mother's obit. We were in Ginny McMahon's group together, with Shirley Kuta, Carol McCarthy and others. You came to my engagement party at Shirley's place... You're a hard person to forget, Teri.

I lost my mother 3 years ago, and nothing in life even resembles that event... My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.

So when I thought of you, I wondered...where do you live now? what are you doing...still in Nursing? I live in Niles; and it would be interesting to compare notes - as somehow the death of our mothers has re-connected us.

I wish you all that you wish for yourself...and more.
In sympathy and friendship,
Dolores Barnat Vonderheide

Momma, the Banquet table was set for February 12th. We know you wanted to arrive earlier but the Master of Ceramonies allowed us to hold you a little longer. Welcome Home, Mom. Let the reunion begin. You'll be our inspiration forever and always. Love You.
