To the family, My heart goes out to you all. I know how it is to have the one you love leave this earth. God has a plan that none of us will truly understand. But as that song goes we will understand it better by and by. Trust in Jesus and let him direct your path and he will see you through this time of sorrow. Tonya (Pressey).

I will always remember Vivian for her smile and her sense of humor. We shared some wonderful times during our teen age (hanging with the boys in the band) through adult years. Vivian always remained a tried and true friend, whenever I would see her, it was as if time had stood still, we always had memories of the past to share and possibilities of the future to laugh about. Vivian was a hard worker and dedicated to her family.I will miss you my friend.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I work at the Riverside diagnostic center and got know her from her from her coming in and having x-rays done. She was always such a lovely person. There are times when you meet someone who is so kind and sweet that they have such an impact you and you don't forget them. she was that type of person. I know she will be missed by everybody who had the pleasure of knowing her. I also know she is in a much better place now and all of her pain is gone. I wish the family well. God bless you all

I am still agasp with the news of your mom's passing. She cared for her grandmother with strength and respect to the end. How ironic that her health held up through all that. I am humbly proud to have known and been in the company of Vivian. God Bless you and keep you
