Auntie Vivy, you are now at peace. You have been reunited with Uncle Bob, Grannie, Auntie Arlene and my mother, Mary Ann. What a celebration it must have been. How I remember visiting and playing in the back yard and going for long walks in the neighborhood with my cousins. My father had a sword collection. One year you gave him a gift. It was a small package of plastic multicolored sword shaped olive picks used for cocktails. Every time I saw that package I always thought of you. And we got together at the Olive Garden just a few years ago. It was a wonderful visit. Auntie Vivy, you will be missed. May you rest in the arms of our Lord. We all love you. Charlene Dino Mizner

I am going to miss you Vivian. You were a nice lady. I remember all the family picnics we had together with my mom Donna Bush at Otsiningo Park. I will surely miss you.
