Violet and my Dad were very close as siblings. Cliff was all about honoring and being true to family. Us sibs are a testament to that honoring. I wish Violet to know that she was loved by us and that I send her on her way with Love. I am very sure that Dad was there to greet her and take her to the Other Side. That's what love is all about: being there when one needs a hand.
