I still have Venice in my phone and I pause for a moment when I see her name come up, which is fairly often. Venice was a good person and I have fond memories of working with her. What a shame to lose such a nice girl at so young an age.

My heartfelt condolences go out to the Walton family. Venice was a wonderful person, a co-worker and a friend. She was always diligent, helpful and positive in everything she did. I had the pleasure of seeing Venice get thrown into a new job (do or die) as a novice and develop into a competent technician before my eyes. I'm sure her persistence and don't quit till its done approach helped her get to where she was. Venice will be sorely missed. Where she once was is now a void of which we are reminded each day. Rest easy.

Larry, Lynn, and family:
It is with deep sorrow that I learn of the passing of Venice today. I reflect upon the good news Lynn always had about her progress in school and her zeal in pursuing her dream. Thanks to the support and encouragement of her parents, she blossomed into an exemplary and productive adult. Well done Larry and Lynn!

May your spiritual strength and you faith in HIS promise of a better life sustain you during this sorrowful time and in future, as well.

I will give you a ring soon.

With sisterly love,
Dr. Mary E. Cheeseboro

VW, I miss you already man. You were the only one ever allowed to call me Fanny. We got our graduation date this week and it didn't even feel right registering. I wanted to pick up the phone and call you so we could both get excited. I couldn't even celebrate on Tuesday because we were supposed to do that together. As much as you said you were inspired by me, I think I was far more inspired by you. Thank you for being one of my closest friends. I love you girl. Rest in peace.
