My condolences to Vivian´s family. I´m sorry that Vivian is not here with us physically. We keep the beautiful memories of her and carry them with us forever. Another Redbird has the wind of the Lord under her wings. Vivian was a member of the band and thus loved and appreciated music. Now, this Redbird"s music is pitch perfect.

I'm so sad over Vivian's passing. She was the first person to befriend my twin sister and me when my family moved to Thomasville Heights. We were schoolmates from third grade at JW Dobbs through high school. She was also our bandmate at Fulton. Our families also worshiped at Mount Nebo Baptist Church. I have such fond memories of walking to choir rehearsal with her. She always greeted me with that beautiful, radiant smile of hers. We lost touch after graduation, but I always cherished her as one of the sweetest friends I've ever had. All my love and support to her family.
