Deepest sympathy! Violet was a caring, super sweet, and kind person. Met Violet as she use to attend Queen’s 7am weekday mass until she moved to the High Rise. Many conversations and she was so proud of her family and loved her dog.

Lucy, June, Barb, John (and families):
I am so sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. She was a sweetheart and I am honored to have known her. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
So very sorry for your loss. Violet was a person who influenced and enriched so many people. She made you want to be a better person. She will most certainly be missed but her memory will live on for a very long time.
To the Vollmer kids – the best neighbors ever, we had the best times growing up together and our parents were a big part of it. We are all so sad to hear this news. I feel like I want us all to “meet at the bridge” one more time and pretend life is simple again. We love you all!
I will always remember Mrs. Vollmer’s smile. I would see her walking her dog.
My Condolences to everyone on the loss of your Mom and Grandma Mike Yanak
