Vi and Ben at a birthday party I had for my husband, Jerry.
I have so many wonderful memories -- working at GISD, bowling, golfing, going to church, out to eat, movies, out for a "cocktail or two", vacation up-north, climbing the sand dunes, Christmas and birthday breakfasts. Oh, how I love that woman and think and smile about her often.

I will miss your mom so much. She and all of you are part of our family too!
From the first time I met her when I was in third grade she has been unfailingly sweet and wonderful.
Earl and Zana and I loved her much.

Kerri, Jake and Mitch. So sorry for the loss of Grandma Vi. How many games did I sit with her and your Mom over the years? She loved watching you guys play. It didn't matter what sport, football, basketball, baseball. She even came and watched baseball when you guys were in the Flint League. She was an Awesome lady. She will be missed. Sending love, prayers and hugs to all of you.

Karin, Kim, Kris & Kerri, Your mom was a saint. Raising 4 rowdy girls was no easy chore along with all their friends. I remember so many mornings waking up after spending the night to hearing her listening to the old time religion music station in the kitchen. Cherish your memories as they will comfort you down the road.
