I had the honor of knowing Vivian, and her children. She was a very special person and family friend. I was very sorry to hear of this today. She is now in the arms of God and reunited with her dear husband who was also a dear friend. May her Memory be Eternal! Prayers for her and her family.

I just saw Vivian's obituary and am so saddened to hear of her passing. She has been a long time friend for many years. Our husbands, Walt and Jim, worked together at Union Camp. We were Facebook friends and enjoyed phone chats occasionally. I moved from Savannah to the country many years ago, but Vivian and I stayed in touch. I send my deepest condolences to the Geiger family and know your wonderful memories and abiding faith will help you through this difficult time. You were so blessed with wonderful parents. I loved your Mom and treasured our friendship. God bless you all!! Mary Lee Zimmerman
