Dear Kohn family, Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of Viola. For those of us who got the chance to meet and know her, we are forever grateful and changed for the better. She was such a beautiful, smart, strong and loving person, inside and out. Every time we got the chance to speak with her or be with her, she brought so much joy and made us feel welcomed, supported and loved every time. For this, we are forever grateful. The one thing that I will always remember her for was her infinite and endless love she showed for those she cared for. Her family meant the world to her and you could see it in her eyes and feel it every time you were around her. I hope that when I have a family someday, I am able to be even half as loving as she was to hers. We are all better for having known her. For those of us who didn't get the chance to meet her, we will always remember the beautiful stories we were told about her and are grateful for her family she helped shape into amazing people. She will be missed but never forgotten. May she rest in peace now with Zaidy. We love you Viola. Till we meet again, - The Miles Family.

Dearest Debbie and family: Both mom and I were terribly saddened to have learned of mom's passing. Her warm, generous, kind and loving spirit, coupled with her beautiful and sweet smile and gentle demeanour, were always so beautifully refreshing. We loved seeing you Debbie, with mom, whether it was in the lobby or outside enjoying the fresh air. You both had welcoming and engaging smiles always. We will miss her greatly! I know it's a trying time. We pray that G-d will grant you healing, strength, love and blessings, and that mom's great legacy will continue to be a source of pride and inspiration in all that you do. All of our love and good wishes. Ruth Zener and Gary Zener-your neighbours from #1008.
