I have such fond memories of Aunt Vivian. She had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to make us laugh, which she did so well. Her kind spirit also made her a joy to be around and her love for family was evident through her life. Her memory will remain in our hearts and minds.

What a special lady!! Vivian has aways been very special cousin to me. During my "growing up years", I spent many nights in her home. She was always a cut up and provided many laughs for anyone around her. A great cook, she always wanted to feed everyone. A beautiful christian lady. To the family I am sorry she will be absent form your midst....she is Home at last and breathing just fine. Linda
