Aunt Vick I will miss our conversations both when you were in Ohio and when you moved to Georgia. You had a very sharp mind remembering things I truly had forgotten. I love you so much and wished so much I could have came to visit you after you moved. I missed your Christmas card this year. Yours was usually the first I would get in the mail. I will always remember you and speak of you at every opportunity. Rest well my dear auntie. Your journey is done and you're with the Lord. Your niece Diane

I thank Lillian and her family for taking care of you when you left Cleveland for Georgia. Rest in peace my dear Aunt. To God be the Glory for your 100 years of life. What a Blessing!

Ms. V is what I called her. I enjoyed taking care of you, hearing you pray over our dinners after seeing you prepare it until you couldn't anymore, watching you do your exercise on your walker and the many stories you would tell about your life. How you would tell me honey you got keep it moving. How you would tell me it's a hard road to travel somebody got to do it. Well you have reached the end of the road your traveling days are over. You can rest now. It's was an honor knowing you. Love you Toni Carter

Aunt Vivian you will be missed. You were never without a smile, your love for others radiated from every pore. I'm so glad I got to be a part of your life during your later years. I'll always remember the casino trip, fixing your tablet so you could play Candy Crush and Texas Holdem Poker, and just the enjoyment of being in your presence. You were a Royal Flush in the lives of many. Much love and many prayers of condolences to my "other" family....
