While growing up in the "Netz Family," visits from Uncle Johnny and Aunt Vivian were always a big deal !! Us kids loved all the attention, and Mom and Dad (Willie and Joanne Netz) always had the most laughter filled, robust conversations - always filled with lots of jokes and reminiscing about the "old days." We will always remember you Aunt Vivian - you always had a smile that could light up any room! Much love, thoughts, prayers and love to all the family.

Thinking of you and your family at this time. I know that there was a great "Tahran" reunion in heaven this week. And this is the hope we look forward to as well. I wish I could be there to help celebrate Aunt Vivian's life with you all.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I have very fond memories of your dad and mom growing up and later when I would take my mom Shirley Siegler over to visit them after the death of my dad. They are now all together in heaven having the time of their life. I'm sure my dad and your dad are discussing building something while my mom and your mom are embroidering and discussing old times.
