I can not tell you how much I'm going to miss you Aunt Viv. I can remember growing up with and around you and you watching over me when I was little. I always looked up to you and you were so beautiful to me both inside and out. Your smile could lite up a room and you never knew a stranger. Your hugs were always warm and you gave them out to all you knew. I look forward to seeing you in Paradise! I will forever love you as Yahweh does.
