For My Special Friend's Family,

In our lives, if we're lucky , we'll have all kinds of friends and although we appreciate them all for different reasons, there was only one in my life that I cherish the most and that was my dear friend Vivian. We loved to eat , shop and just being together meant more than anything else. Even though I live far away, just picking up the phone seems just like yesterday. Vivian was that special friend who knew me and we shared a lot, good and bad and always could be counted on.

To Clue, Tony and Antionette, Vivian was a wonderful wife, mother and friend. May the sympathy of friends and the precious memory of your love one help to comfort you at this time and always.

With sincere sympathy,

Dorothy Cook
