It is with great sadness that Viola's family report Viola passed peacefully away after a long illness, May 6th 2009 8.27am Pacific Time.
Viola leaves behind six children - Vincent, Christopher, Regina, Ladonna, David and Rejal, 21 grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. Viola was just 69 years old.
Viola's favourite saying to her family was always "Aim for the sky and always dare to dream"
On Viola's behalf her family wish a special heartfelt thanks to all of Vi's fans over the years, whom, Vi always said, allowed her dreams to come true.
Viola was interred at
Angeles Abbey Memorial Park 1515 E Compton Blvd Compton CA 90221.
Please leave tributes in her guestbook.
Please view this awesome song by her son David, sung at the memorial service. Music credits also to Mario Gonzalez/Guitar, and Paul Ornelas/Keyboards.
