Viv was a dear friend of my Mom - they bowled together, played cards and had great fun at whatever they did together. Viv was a sparkle in life, and my Mom always spoke of her with tremendous affection. May she rest in peace with our Lord - I am sure my Mom was there to welcome Viv to Heaven.
With my deepest sympathy,
Marie Mancini (Doretta Holland's daughter)

My thoughts and prayers are with the Bogosian-Dillon-Pratt families. I remember Vivian like it was yesterday....so happy with life. She always said "I'm happy with what I have. I don't really need more." I admired her for that and tried to think along the same lines for the past 30 years (oooh has it been that long??) I can still hear her voice.
God was smiling at her then, she's smiling at Him now.
