So very sorry to hear of Vivian's death. I saw her on January 3, got to hug her and talk to her for a few minutes. She was always smiling and such a joy to be around and that day was no exception. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Charles and David, I am so sorry for your loss. Vivian has been a friend of the family "forever". I have a lot of fond memories of the Walkers and also of you David and Debbie. No one could have been loved more than her children. Praying for you. Love, Janice Gillie Turner

Aunt Vivian's home was my 'home away from home' growing up. My mom (her sister Thelma) would head to Draper/Eden whenever my dad's ship was deployed. Her quiet strength and loving heart were such an example to many. Her sudden illness and death must still be a shock to you. Please know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of your family here in Norfolk.

I just want the family to know how sorry we are for your lose. My mom ( Inez Heath) and Vivian were best friends growing up. My mom was able to visit with her last April. And it was a real joy for her. She since passed in Oct. So it means alot that they were able to visit. Now I know they are having a grand reunion in Heaven. Your family is in our prayers.
