Vivian we meet as you and Alex were interviewing me to hire as Emery's Nanny. LOL we were so suspicious of each other at first until Emery embraced her loving arms around me and you and Alex put a great big smile on your faces and said Yep she's the new Nanny. Thank you for accepting to take care of her for that very short time I only wish I could of been there for you. I love you Rest in Peace.

We will always remember Vivian as a positive spirit with a smiling face who found the best in everything. It was great running into her and Elyse at a Girl Scout event last year proving no matter how she felt, her girls came first! She taught me a lot about how to keep living even when life made it a hard thing to do. Vivian traveled this hard journey with dignity helping those around her remember the true values in life. God Bless you and your family.

Alex, I am so sorry for your loss. Vivian was always helpful, in regards to the condo. Thank you for letting my cats inhabit their "kingdom". Do take all the time you need......to gather your thoughts about the condo. May you and your children take comfort with Vivian's and your families.

Vivian worked for me for some time while she was at Insight. Part of my job was to go on sales calls with my Reps and coach them. Vivian was the only one who didn't need any coaching! She was professional, very knowledgeable and our customer's loved her!
We miss her infectious happiness at work and she will always be in our thoughts.

Vivian, I am so sorry for the pain and suffering that you endured. I wish I could be there to meet your girls and tell them stories of the Vivian I knew in school. I hope they turn out to be carbon copies of their mama. Rest in peace friend.

Alex,
So terribly sorry for your family's loss. Glad your mother Joanne is there with you. She spoke of Vivian so often. Sending comfort and strength.
Most sincerely,

August 22, 2017

I met Vivian in the final chapter of her life. A life with cancer. We were kindred spirits despite our age difference. I will never forget our drives in the rain to Sarasota or the day we spent watching Elyse on field day. She was an inspirational and sensational person. I feel honored to have called her friend. My heart is sad and my prayers are continual for Alex, the girls, her mom, and the rest of her family and friends. You will be missed, Vivian.

I met Vivian when she was only about 3 or 4 years old. Her family lived directly behind mine. I was so saddened to hear the news of her passing. She was such a fighter. I am so sorry for your loss Alex and the whole family. She will be missed greatly.

There are no words that can help take away the pain we have for losing Vivian. Hugs to the family and our prayers are with you. Vivian always had such a positive outlook on things and I enjoyed that about her. Her life was cut short but she definitely served it well. I will remember her laughter. One thing we laughed about was that she always won something at each sales event.

Vivian I will miss you dearly! You were and still are a bright light. You were so brave thru your battle with cancer. I love you. Fly high with angels and enjoy no more pain. ❤

How sad I was when I heard the news of Vivian's passing. I hired Vivian fresh out of college in 1998. She was full of spunk and enthusiasm and knew nothing about the world of IT. Needless to say she "ROCKED" in her new endeavor. There wasn't anything that she couldn't conquer if she put her mind to it. We lost a very special lady and the heavens gained one. I will miss you Vivian Chavez Burr. Prayers to the entire Burr family. Rest in Peace Vivian. You are pain free. XOXO

Vivian, I am heartbroken that you are gone... I am so sad that your sweet beautiful girls won't have their Mommy to hug and love in person anymore....I will continue to pray for Alex, Elyse, Emery and your mom to somehow feel God's peace during this sad time.... I will always cherish my fun memories of you, my Crazy, adventurous, and fun loving college roommate...Rest in Peace, Viv....

Oh Vivian, I'm so sorry that you had to endure this pain and though you were so strong through it all I'm sure the hardest part was knowing you were leaving your husband, your kids, your family. Your husband will be strong and forever missing you and so will your girls. But Elyse and Emery... how I wish they could have you forever to hold them and raise them and enjoy them and be there for them through everything. I know your family and closest friends will be there for them. I know they will be stronger for it. But how I wish it could be you. You are so courageous and you fought with dignity and knowledge of what you wanted through it all down to the end. Making every decision on your own, down to when to let go. You have so many close friends and family. We will treasure our memories of you and miss you always. We will live and love and laugh in your honor. We will do our best to be there for Alex, Emery, and Elyse. Our heartfelt condolences to the family. Chelsea, Chris, Malana, Everett, Avery, (Stella for Albee ❤) Knowles.
