Vivian was a beautiful person, She was my first supervisor here at Randolph AFB and was truly the best mentor I've had in my 25 years of Service. She would come home with me sometimes for lunch at my parents house and when my beloved Father passed away Vivian was there at his service to comfort me. She instilled good work habit's and led by example - Always. My heart is heavy knowing that she is gone from this earth but knowing how much she loved Andy and missed him I am happy for her that she is finally reunited with the love of her life and to see the face of her beloved Jesus, she is in all her glory now. She was a great lady and she loved her family so very much. She talked about you all the time and how proud of you all she was. I will pray for your comfort. God Bless you all! Cathy Tennison-Smoak

Andy, Debbie, Sandra, Randy and families:
Our prayers are with you as you say goodby to your Mother, one of the most wonderful people your Uncle Charles and I have ever known. She was more a sister to Charlie than a sister-in-law. We know she and your Dad are having a wonderful reunion in Heaven. Like each of you, our hearts are broken knowing she is gone. We will miss her so much. She was an inspiration to all who knew her.

Thank God for the promise that we will all be together in Heaven one day.

We love you!

Aunt Freda and Uncle Charlie

Oh how I will miss talking with your mother. She and I would email back and forth lately. I do believe that Heaven just got better! I have such fond memories of all the times spent with your family. Debbie you have to admit I was another Gorman many a weekends. Let's see, french toast on Saturday mornings that is if we did not go do ceramics at Velasco's. Square dancing at Hermann Sons, thursday's at Oak Hill bowling Alley, St. Gregory's festivals....and the wonderful costumes she would sew for all your dance recitals....I could go on and on. Andy, Sandy, Debbie and Randy I pray that you find comfort in all the wonderful memories you have made with her. I know she is at peace and once again with the love of her life...your father. May God wrap his arms around you all and help carry you throught this difficult time. Much love, Jon and Marci Aune and family
