Although I only met Violet in 2007 she was one of the warmest indivuals I have had the pleasure of knowing. None of the pretentiousness that one might expect from an individual with such talent and such breadth of experience and friends. I am so very grateful to her for her brief but sincere friendship and her unbiased support of my work. I will truly miss her.

Violet is not only a great talent artists, but aslo a great friend of China as the Chairwoman of International Committee of World American Cultural Exchanges. She donated her paintings to China National Fine Arts Museum, the Great Hall of People's in Beijing, China Fund of Chinese Children and Teenages. Her works was collected by both U.S. Presidents and China Presidents and celebrities, as well as people love her in the world. She spent her whole life for iconic seascapes and returned herself to ocean forever.

Words can not express the loss I feel. I admired and respected Violet in many ways. I pray that she knows this as I am sure she is watching over all who loved her so very much. I love you Violet and will never forget you! You have Robert looking over your business and you know he loved you. I am and will always be here to help.

Daily Horoscope for December 15

Pisces

This is a great day for understanding what's going on under the surface of things and for tuning into the subtle messages that others are sending out. For instance, someone may say one thing yet you'll be utterly convinced that they really mean something quite different. However, they won't like it if you say so, so you'll have to maintain a tactful and discreet silence.
