Peace Violet. Violet passed away about a year from when her and her husband's lottery ticket won the jackpot. I hope that they both enjoyed those months together in a variety of ways.

I wonder if Violet knew that she had cancer before she won the big lottery jackpot?

I wonder how many millions, from the lottery jackpot winnings, Allen has remaining
