I will never forget all of our wonderful conversations and the joy it brought me. She had such a great spirit. I will miss receiving the many cards she sent just to say hello. My condolences to the family.

I will remember Vivi as being full of life and joy, and I feel grateful to have known her spirit. Her spunk lit up a room and I know just how cherished she was and will continue to be in all of our memories. My love to the whole family. -Tati Mitts
