Another family member passes...

Mon Apr 20, 2009 11:30 am

My wife's aunt Violet Holmes passed away this morning.
We were very close...like a grandmother to us.

Ms. Violet was a Rosie the Riveter. She married a young man shortly before he went to serve as an infantryman in the US Army. (he landed at Anzio) He passed a few years ago...

She went to work building T-6 wing parts at North American near Waco, TX.

She was a lovely little lady (5ft tall read head!) with a huge heart.
She will be missed.
