Vivian, you are missed. You were taken too soon, you have many friends that remember your smile and loving ways. I miss you.Patti Burns Thoming

So many memories! We were so close, our families used to call us the Three Muskateers. Judi Pimentel, Vivian and myself. I don't remember a lot about school but I remember so clearly all the many memories we made. Thank you Vivian for all the many years of frienship and all the wonderful laughs. My prayers are with you and your family. Love you JoanneJan White (1970)
Vivian was one of the most gritty and real people I have ever known in my life. Her high school years were not easy (as was also true for her siblings, Pam and Alan) but she was a survivor and just made the best she could with the cards she was dealt. I ran into her about 10 years after we graduated and she was a mental health worker bound and determined to make a difference for other people who had encountered rough patch in life. We crossed paths in a grocery store in Fairfield and sat down on the floor in the store and talked for an hour. I never saw her again. I was hoping to see her at a class reunion. I hope that she had a great life and I was shocked and sad to see that she had passed away. My sympathies to her family. She was a dear childhood friend and is missed.
