VIOLETTE BOTROS
In loving memorv of Violette Botros who courageouslv battled cancer for over a decade with a smile on her face and warmth in her heart. After a long day of treatment and barely enough energy to walk, Violette would insist on going out to dinner with her husband and two young sons because there’s nothing that she enjoyed more than sharing a meal with those she loved. Life is precious and so are the friends and familv we experience it with.

SALLY FARINACCI CURTIS
A lot has chanaed since we opened Violette’s Cellar. My mother, Sally, was tired of the fight. Faced again with the prospect of treatment and drugs, she chose to live out her final days on her terms. She lived her life, left her legacy, and was proud of her accomplishments. I worked very hard to make her proud, as she has and always will motivate me. I owe my life to her in more wavs than one. But she lived. she loved, and she laughed. To know her was to love her. So please order some food and in her words “eat and enjoy”.

ANDREA ZURLO
Known to her family and friends as Andy or A.A., to all her nieces and nephews. my mom was alwavs there for everyone with open arms and a compassionate heart. From my birth and adoption, through my adult life, until she passed in October of 2019, she always taught me the value of love, family, and respect for all. From small family dinners with my father Ralph, aka “the dragon of bosnia”, to holiday feasts with my entire family, mom always knew a good meal will bring familv and friends together. Her charitable deeds and work with the Mental Health Association instilled in me the passion to help others. Our commitment to the Comprehensive Cancer Center continues her legacy of compassion and good will. Thank vou mom & dad. Peace, love, and happiness to all! Cheers!
