It’s been one year since we lost our beloved friend and co-worker, Violet Brown.  We miss your presence. We think about you always, we talk about you still.  The moments you shared with us will never be forgotten.  It’s been hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember. Thank you so much for who you were. The most caring, smart, funny person, who was well known by all, even the customers. Forever in our hearts. Our prayers are with your family.  Rest in Peace, Vi.
