Vivian will deeply be missed. She was good a friend. She was like a mom and a Grandma. Had that smile when you was around her. I enjoy listening to her when she talked about the black and white TV shows. And Western shows she grew up watching. She got me to watching some of it. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
