We will always remember Vivian having a special place in our hearts! I am thankful for the many reminders I have, some shown in the picture! She added the names of her and my daughter and though my daughter is all grown up I treasure and will keep the little sweatshirt! Vi was my Godmother and we will always remember her being extra kind to me and my family!

Memories of Vi and our shenanigans while I worked with her in the Sheb Co Clerk of courts office are still very vivid. She gave me the support I needed thus beginning a new road in my life. Thank you VI

My sympathies to Connie and Rick. I worked with your mom at the clerk of courts office for many years. In fact she was my mentor when I first started working in that office. Many fun memories and was missed after she retired. May she rest in peace with Richard.

Sending our Symathy to Rick and Connie, most of memories are from our younger years. Many said your Mom and I did resemble some. We are now in Tn. Had stopped at nursing home one time when visiting my aunt Hildegard when in Wisconsin in the same home. Your Mom was resting. May she rest in peace. Thinking we were second cousins. BLESSINGS TO FAMILY .
