Vivian was a good friend to me and my daughter. We spent alot of time together for a few years until she moved from our neighborhood. I will never forget her big hugs and "Hi Sis how are you? " She was always very loving to us. She will be missed.

Lori, sorry to hear about your mom. She was someone special. I know that Ed liked her a lot. I know that you will miss her, but just remember the memories you had while she was here. You will see her again another day. Sorry I missed you but with Covid I don't get out much. Hugs Karen
