I was blessed to have met Vi when my dad was her neighbor at Laurel Hills. She was an amazing woman who was so proud of her children. She will be missed.

Vi made a great difference in my life 25 years ago, when I needed a mother. "As long as we remember them, they still live." - Jewish proverb. I will remember her. All my condolences to Rocky and Sandy and family.
