THANK YOU: I’m not sure where to start with Thank Yous‌.I guess, ďŹ rst of all‌.Willow Dale‌. Thank you for the wonderful care Violet Schau has gotten these last four years....She was Grandma to so many there, & it really made her feel special‌.but, she sure left you with a lot of memories. Next, the Christensen-Van Houten Funeral Home....Knowing Josh & Christie personally was so great, but they are nothing but professional & do their job SO well. And, to Pastor Salcido & the kitchen staff at St. Paul’s‌. Thank you so much. Mom had her ďŹ nal plans made forever‌.I used to tease her about planning her farewell party....Having said that...she would have been thrilled with the entire ordeal‌.BUT, ďŹ rst & foremost, she would have been absolutely her happiest, knowing the way all the family came together for the ďŹ nal farewell. Her family meant the world to her, as we also did her. She left a path that will be very hard for us to follow....God bless. The Family of Violet Schau Mareta Vermeys & Family and Paula Schau & Family 51-1t/cra
