Not sure what to say?

It is with a sad heart to hear of Vivian´s passing. I loved our talks and will miss them greatly. She was a wonderful person and I know she loved the Lord. May God be with her family in this lost of a wonderful lady. Phyllis Penny

She was Mrs. Herrington to me because of knowing "Sparky" in Jr. HIgh. She had the MOST beautiful sparkly eyes! Even as late as 10 to 15 years ago, seeing her in Kroger, I knew her by her eyes. Such a nice lady! My condolences to the family, especially Sparky and Joyce whom my family also knew.

Aunt Vivian was a most wonderful Christian woman who certainly enjoyed a fulfilling life with family and friends. Although we won´t be able to join you in Memphis, you have our sincere and heartfelt condolences during this time of great sorrow. I last spoke to her upon the passing of my mother and her older sister, Mary Frances Ingram, in May 2022. Aunt Vivian she was so very sweet and kind. I know she and my Mom are together again. As a child, I have special memories of visiting...

I am sending love and condolences to every member of your family and I am sorry I can´t get away from the hospital to hug each of you in person. I loved my dear Aunt Vivian and she was so good to me every summer when I stayed with you all. We had such fun and good memories! Much love to you, Mary Mary Louise Ingram Taylor

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
