Vi was one of the first persons who greeted me when I first walked in the German Shepherd Dog Training Club of Chicago, and that was over 20 years ago... Violet and Carl's devotion to the club and German Shepherds is missed. She and Carl were very nice sincere people. I will miss Vi. Best wishes to her family.

Such loving and open spirits, both you and Carl!  I Will never forget your sweet laugh and fiery hair.  I will miss your kind words and good stories.  Here's to weekend morning visits with family, loyal dogs, and tchotchke keepsakes!  We'll keep your spirits close.
