She will be missed.Comment publication date: 12/27/24, 7:33 PMComment source: Obituary - Violet Joyce Casey-MillerComment author: Dale H.Comment text: My condolences to the familyComment publication date: 12/27/24, 7:17 PMComment source: Donna Jean BrownComment author: Shelly, Michael & Timmy SyriacComment text: To all of Violet's family and friends I send my heart felt condolences. It is life changing to not be able to pick up the phone just to say, "hello or I love you". However, knowing Violet's deep love and faith in Jesus; I can't only smile through the tears knowing she is in the presence of Jesus. How awesome is that? We all know her faithful belief and service... she is now receiving her eternal reward. Hallelujah! My prayers right now are for everyone who loved Violet. I pray the blood of Jesus over you, I pray for Jesus to hold you in his healing embrace, and I pray for the Holy spirit to grant you peace while you grieve. Violet always had a smile. Cousin, you will be missed...Comment publication date: 12/27/24, 5:43 PMComment source: Obituary - Violet Joyce Casey-MillerComment author: Hampton YoungComment text: I am a long ago friend of Tom Hutchings since our university days. I counted him, as well as his brother, John, as among my finest friends, although I have not seen either of them for many years. Both were a force. Coincidently I am moving from Oregon to Fallon soon, and I had counted on getting together with he and Mary. My deepest sympathies to her. Tom is missed.Comment publication date: 12/22/24, 6:46 PMComment source: Thomas ("Hutch" "Tucker Ryan") Lloyd Hutchings
