I had the pleasure of meeting Vivian and her family over the course of the last year at the Norman Clinic. She was such a vibrant and loving person and I am very blessed to have met her. She had a great sense of humor and was full of wisdom. She will be greatly missed and I am very sorry to hear of your loss.

I will always remember Vivian in the halls of LHS but especially the pep rallies. She was very friendly and caring toward all that came in contact with her. Her spirit, that she shared with me and others, I know will live on through her family. God bless

Vivian was one of a kind. So much energy, talents and love wrapped up one human being. I count her as a best friend from age 16 on. I was fortunate to spend some really neat times with Vivian and her family in high school. "Vivian, I look forward to singing again with you in Heaven!"

Ever since childhood, no one could have ever had such a wonderful cousin. Our families were close throughout the years and somewhere along the way, we go our own way, but carry such beautiful memories. I am so proud that so many people loved Vivian. I am deeply grateful that my Uncle J.J. is in heaven to welcome her. Time goes by so quickly but she will never be forgotten. My prayers are with the family and we all share in your sorrow and ask God to ease your pain.
