My beautiful Teta, you were and will always be the embodiment of love, grace and kindness. You do and always have lived in a special place in my heart. Fly free in the arms of the Angels, of which you have always been, in God's Heavenly light and may your beautiful memory always be eternal. "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal" You were not only my Teta, but my friend, my confidant and what we shared can never be taken away from either of us. That our last words were me saying to you "I love you, my beautiful Teta" and yours to me were "And I love you more."
My Teta, you made a genuine difference in this world and to so many people. Not only in our family but for the many lives your touched with your grace in your professional life.
You've more than earned your rest and your peace. You gave all of you to those you loved and you will always be in my heart and soul. I will love you until forever. And I will see you again some beautiful day. Never goodbye, Teta, only "until I see you again."
May your beautiful memory be eternal, Teta.

I worked with Vi at Methodist for many years. She was very calm and caring when dealing with employees in crisis. She was able to make each person she dealt with feel important. Although she didn't like being in the limelight, she was a true star when dealing with others. She was also a good friend to me. She told great stories about her childhood and family. I enjoyed her smile, energy and wisdom. She will truly be missed by the Methodist family.
My thoughts are with her family in this difficult time.

I want to express what a beautiful woman Vi was. She was beautiful on the outside, but her heart made her glow. It was a privilege to know her and work with her. She brought joy to each day - even if the work was hard. Prayers and blessings to her friends and family. She will be missed.

Mr. Axline, Nancy, John and family,
My deepest sympathies on the loss of Mrs. Axline. She was the best and sweetest neighbor, always welcoming me into your home on Rex. I will always appreciate that she checked in on my parents - especially my mother, after Dad passed away. She was a truly special soul - always bright, smiling and cheerful. You will all be in my prayers.
