I met Ms. Vivian many, many years ago. Unfortunately we lost contact but I never forgot her. She was a very beautiful lady and one of the sweetest persons I've ever known. As I recall, she had a big heart, a warm smile and her kindness was immeasurable. She will always be remembered.
My thoughts & prayers are with her family, friends and loved ones at this time.
