I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to the family. I'm going to miss texting and talking with you on the phone. It was always a joy working with you at UNC on the crisis unit. We had some good times at work. I can still hear you saying to me, "When you coming to pick up Roscoe this crazy dog of yours, because he's giving me headaches." I cried a few tears when I found out you passed away. Although I loved you dearly, I couldn't make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating and hard working hands at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me that he only take the best. Now you can rest my dear friend Vivian. God bless the family with strength during this time and the days/weeks to follow. Will Holmes Belleville, Illinois

I was heartbroken to hear of my favorite cousin Vivian's passing. Even though miles separated us, she was always close in my heart. I feel truly blessed that we were able to reconnect after a decade. Being able to attend her son's wedding and see her for the first time in over 25 years, and to meet her beautiful family, meant more to me than words can say.

We kept in touch through holiday and birthday calls, messages, and I will always treasure those moments. I'm especially grateful for the fun memories we shared growing up and for the honor of being a bridesmaid in her wedding. Those moments will forever live in my heart.

My deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers go out to her family who meant the world to her during this difficult time.

With love Comanche

My sincere condolences goes out to the entire family . Know that my family is affected as well in Vivian' passing. I love here just as much as I did the day she left this Earth for her Heavenly Home. Love never dies but it lives on forever. Rest well my friend.

Vivian was a most beautiful person. She was honest and direct with everyone. She made all who knew her laugh. She was compassionate and warm with her New York accent. Consolations to her family and precious grandchildren. Deep sadness at her loss.
