Vi was a dear, dear friend. More like family and certainly closer to me than most of my family. We hadn't been able to get together lately as often as we used to and since neither of us is fond of phoning, didn't spend a lot of time talking on it....but....we both knew that if we were ever needed we were there. Right now I can't fathom a world without you Vi and I hope you will hear me when I talk to you with my mind because I feel you all around me and know that you're still there for me and for your family.



Ken, Judy and Tracy, I hope you'll all take comfort in that. I know we'll all miss her but she hasn't really left us - she's still there because she'll always be in our hearts. Love, always.
