Dear Sharon & Family,
I am so very sorry about your Mother. Vi was super attractive lady, very sweet, and I remember your Dadas well. Mickey, such a nice guy, soft spoken he always called you Punky. I remember our days in dancing school at Florence Black School of Dance, GOD Bless Her, she was the best! Miss Black passed away not long ago as you probably know. I remember when your Dad was transferred down to Clarksburg or Parkersburg, West Virginia and your Mom & Dad would take me down there to spend a few days with you, I had fun but I would get home sick and want to go back home.
I wanted to let you know that you & your Family have my deepest sympathy!
Warmest Regards,
Samra Munjas Smith
Sharon, I am so very sorry to hear about your dear mother. What a beautiful lady! I clearly remember when you left RHS to spend more time with her, fearing then her health was failing. My, what a blessing to have her in your life so many more years. You and the family will indeed be in our thoughts…. ❤️
Sharon and family,
Please accept our prayers for you and yours during this time. We always enjoyed talking with your Mother. She was such a sweet lady. She would call Don when the power was out and ask when it was coming back on! She knew that he really could not ever give her a time . but she enjoyed speaking with him anyhow. Our thoughts will continue to be with you.
Sharon and family,
Our prayers and thoughts
are with you at this difficult time. Your mother was a wonderful person and
will be missed by everyone who knew her. Cherish your memories as your love for her lives on in your heart.
Vi was one sweet lady. Our thoughts and prayers to the family.
Dear Sharon & Jason: I have so many wonderful memories of Vi that it is hard to know where to start. Her smile & laughter will forever be remembered. Her kindness to my mom after my dad died. She never missed a day without calling to check on my mom. I loved hearing the stories she told when she went on trips with the church group. She is in a beautiful home full of family & friends. For those left on earth she will always be in our hearts and will forever be remembered.. Rest well Vi you will always be remembered.
