Our sincerest condolences on the passing of Mrs. Viola. She was truly a second mother to many (especially to my mom, Tamara, who in turn showed that same caring spirit to me as a bonus grandma). We are fortunate to have many wonderful memories on Park Street. May they remain, along with her legacy continuing to inspire and bless us all who were privileged to know her.
Miss Thompson was my second mother many many times that I needed her. She is truly going to be missed my condolence to the family.
My condolences to the family...I will certainly miss the talks she and I shared. My heart is broken 😢
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
