Mr. Viers and Family,
Please accept my sympathy for your loss. It has been a long time but I remember Mrs. Viers so well, seeing her down at the career center. I am a Gahanna bus driver and have had the career center route for 20 years. Mrs. Viers was a lovely woman who made an impression on all who had contact with her. She will be remembered as a confident, strong role model to those students she counseled. I am so very sorry for your loss.
