I met Vivian at the Oaks where my Grandmother Phyllis was also a resident. I really liked her. On the day my Grandmother passed away I saw Vivian in the hallway and we walked together. She held my hand as we walked down the hall and it was very special for me, I think she knew I needed that. God Bless her.

Amy... I am very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Most of my memories of your parents are from when I was pretty little when I spent summers at my grandparents'. I distinctly remember standing in the big front picture window watching the cattle (when they were out). Sometimes I'd see your dad out there, as well. I think the first time I met your mom was when she had the pool. I thought she was soooo cool to have a pool like that!!! My thoughts are with you and your family, Amy❤️

My sympathy to Vivian's family. Vivian and Doug were special people and although we haven't been in contact for a long time I have many good memories of both of them.

Thanks for the post Margo - between Vivian's pots of soup, and your mom's loaves of homemade bread, the neighborhood never went hungry!
