Vivian and our dad, Bernard, were very close growing up and had a great fondness for each other. I think they were both pretty "full of themselves" and loved a good joke or funny stories. Vivian was always sweet and had an easter egg hunt full with lots of eggs and many treats for all of us when we were growing up. We would go there many times on Sundays and they are fond memories. We are very sad about her death but hope that she will find peace that her friends and family were waiting there to give her a hug.
Peace and rest to the family, Debra Carter Yalin, Elon, North Carolina
