It was such a blessing visiting Aunt Viv a few short weeks ago and seeing how happy she was. Never did I think she would be gone at this time but God has a plan and purpose for us all and He saw she was tired and called her home. Mom (Theresa), George, Patricia, Peter and Debbie my family and I grieve with you. Hang on to the love that Aunt Viv had and keep a cheerful heart and don't let your spirit be crushed. We love you all and we will stay close. Love Van, Doug, Kalifa, Shayna and Kurt.
