Sandie I just came across Vivian’s obituary and just wanted to send my condolences to you and your family.
I still remember your Grandparents talking about Dimples and have many fond memories of your family.
I remember going to your Mom and Dads wedding when I was very young probably about 4 or 5 years old.
You would likely remember me as Kathy Trethewey.
Lynn and Jeff…so sorry for the loss of Vivian…her essence will remain for many years to come.
Lynn and Jeff: I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how close you were. Hang on to those memories. Marylou
