I am very sad to learn of Vivian's passing and send my condolences to the family, especially Sam. I knew Vivian since childhood as her family and my parents were good friends. When I moved to New England for college and graduate school, Viv and Sam took me in as family and I spent much time at their home in Lexington. We continued to see each other over many years and my husband also learned to love and enjoy dinners and more. We would also meet at art exhibits either hers or mine I am sorry not to have been in touch recently and did not know of her death until today. She is missed. I loved Vivian.

Saddened to hear about Vivian's passing. I am a great admirer of her work and her lovely being. She was a wonderful teacher and co member of the Depot square artist group.
I will miss her. Condolences to the family.
