Aunt Viv, you welcomed me to the family with open arms and shared great stories about Dan's Mom with me, which I will never forget. You told me long ago that Dan would marry me and you were right! Thank you for the wonderful memories and talks. Love you.

We are praying for all surviving family members (nieces, nephews) and all who loved Vivian. We enjoyed having Vivian over to our backyard in the Summer time. She attended several bar-b-que events. We are deeply sorry for your loss.

Kind regards,
