My Aunt Violet Alexander passed away Friday. She was a giver, a good Christian, mother of three boys (all adults now) grandmother, and a long-time babysitter in her community. She even provided daycare to the members of the famous rock group "Slipknot" when they were tikes. A very good country cook, a warm, "diamond in the rough" type person, she was really there for me when my dad passed away in 2002. Our family and Des Moines has lost a good woman. We will miss her.
I’m so sorry....this is always hard to say good-bye....
I’ll ping everyone later ....
My best regards and condolences to you and your family.
So very sorry for your loss, prayers for your family.
Condolences and prayers. She and my mom are probably comparing recipes right now.
And my mom saying, Oh my goodness, I have a great grandaughter named Violet!
Proverbs 31:10 “Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.”
Proverbs 31:31 “Give her the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in The Gates.”
Peace
What is going on with all these brain tumors?
My mother’s neighbor died from it.
My mother had them. She’s dead and both lived inches from each other in a condo complex.
Her friend in an adjacent building died from a brain tumor.
My mom’s other condo neighbors, two of them, are dead from cancer. The other neighbor is dead too.
I can’t bring my self to sell it because I am so freaked out that the place may have been built on a dump site like so many places in Westland Michigan, including schools.
I just wonder how many other people in all these adjacent buildings are dead.
I am trying to find out what was on this land before they built all these condos, but no luck so far.
