Ms Vivian was a special lady. We had a good time working together at the NCC Library.
She will be missed by all who had the honor of meeting her and getting to know her.
I have a steering wheel cover she made of me out of lighthouse material. I will cherish forever.
May God grant you peace, comfort, and strength when you need them most only He can give. I will miss her very much.
