I will always love you ma, forever in my heart filled with the warmest memories.
Tommy, we would have loved to be there for her services; but we will be in Buffalo New York with Michele and her family (our oldest daughter.)
We will definitely be thinking of you and your family.
Love,

Bev, Rich & family:
My sincerest condolences to you BFF!!!!
She will be missed by all who know you – I can see you in her, Bev!!!

I miss working with you at Armstrong Rubber and wish we had stayed in touch. Sorry to hear of Vivian's passing and she will be missed. I remember teasing her about the strength of the coffee she served ( I would always take a spoon and turn it upside down and make it look like it ate the spoon–what a good sport she was.)
Just remember she will always be by your side and in your heart and you will see her someday.
Love,
George and Jackie
