Dr. Vivian was such an inspiration. She demonstrated meekness and compassion in such a powerful way. When I was unsure how to be a strong women leader while being loving all I needed to do was remember her carriage. She walked with such authority and humility and has forever marked my life. And because I know mentor others her legacy is multiplied that much more. She really was an example women, and though I did not see her regularly her impact has been and will continue to be life-changing.

I was so blessed to be invited into her space. We talked frequently, mostly about how to fix her computer, or how to do that social media stuff. She ministered to me in so many small ways, I usually didn't realize it until later as I pondered our conversations. I will so miss those 2am texts from her, asking for help. Much Love to Bishop Jackson and family.

Pastor Michelle has definitely impacted my life as a Woman of God and mother. She taught me how to practically live out my faith loud and to an effective mother. She was one of the voices that God used in my life mightily to cause change and increase. I will never forget the Mentoring Groups for few selected women and the impartation of wisdom and knowledge. I loved the no non sense way, but yet tender. I will never forget the time we spent together as group taking a sessions on Painting 101 at Professor's home on Sundays and then having dinner. Your selfless and down to earth personality will never be forgotten. It has always been an honor to be in you presence. She One of coolest Pastor's Wives I have ever known.

Dr.Vivian was a no nonsense person when it came down to the word of God. She encouraged many people especially women and encouraged us to be a better version of ourselves. Dr.Vivian was a big advocate for education and many other things.
Dr. V, you will be missed dearly!!
