We are thinking of you today with deepest sympathy and regret that we were unable to attend the funeral. Vivian was a lovely person who brightened the lives of those who knew her. Her marriage to Howard was a good example for all of us.
Love,
John & Annette Buckmaster

Vivian was one of my very first Mah Jongg buddies. She'd bring her game quarters in a cute glitsy miniature purse! She was a fun person; I'll miss her. Our condolences to her family.

Viv was one of a kind. A smile on her face every time you would walk up to her. Gave some of the best hugs when you most needed it even though she herself was hurting. So very blessed to call her my friend. Will never forget you Viv. Rest safely in Gods loving arms. You deserve it.
