  • My dear friend Vivvy...you were such a beautiful, kind, friend to me, and everyone who knew you. I loved working with you and it was such an honour being your friend. Working with you was always fun. Sometimes we would find a quick doodle on a paper and we knew whose it was <3 Our coffee breaks were filled with laughter; as you always had such a great sense of humor and unique giggle. You retained this while even in the hospital :) I enjoyed receiving e-mails of your paintings that you did in your spare time. I am missing you terribly and I will never forget you <3 My deepest condolences to your families; especially Kendall at this most difficult time in life <3 Love Lynn - Posted by: Lynn Hauser (Friend/Co-worker) on: Jan 01, 2013

  • Rest in peace Vivi, you will truly be missed but never forgotten. My thoughts and prayers to the From family. - Posted by: Narlyn (Co worker) on: Dec 31, 2012

  • Vivian was a wonderful sister-in-law, quiet & sweet natured. We considered ourselves very fortunate to have her in our lives as family and a friend. When one thinks of Vivian you can't help think of her unique giggle. Still makes us smile when you imagine her giggling away. She lived a simple, quiet life but her love of plants and animals showed through big time. She expressed that love to her two dogs...they were her precious children. Boots will be lost without her. WE will be lost without her. Her fight was incredulous in spite of her tiny presence. She wasn't a complainer; she endured greatly with her usual quiet disposition. Kendall, we ache for you with your loss of your dear, sweet Vivian. Your dedication was outstanding because you loved her that much. We want you to know that we are all here for you to help cushion that loss. May God in Heaven hold her gently in His arms now. Rest in peace, Vivian. Miss you already. Kendall, all our love to you during this time. Harman & Carol Lorette, MB. - Posted by: Harman & Carol From () on: Dec 31, 2012
