Vi made our neighborhood and the world a better place to live in, simply by being full of life and kindness. We will miss her quiet strength and gentle nature.

Mom,you will always have a special place in my heart and life. You taught me many wonderful skills that through the years have been useful in raising my own daughters. You also taught me the importance of putting others ahead of yourself and most of all you taught me about God's love for each of us. May you rest in Peace and sing with the Angels for eternity.

We lived as neighbors for many years. When each of us went on vacations the other watched the house. And of course that met meeting Dan up close and personal! I will miss the tips that she gave on how to make the best of the soil and flowers that you had. She was an excellent seamstress and always there to help you with an alteration. She will be missed.
