I remember working with Vi at Holden Hospital many years ago! I also have fond memories of Vi and Arne and Kay and "Pinky" visiting us in North Carolina. What a nice lady!

I was very fond of Vi. She was always kind and willing to help anyone who asked. I remember my wedding shower at Rutland Cong Church and she was right there helping to organize the women. She was well loved by friends.
