Vivian loved people, getting to really know them, hearing about their lives, their dreams, their hopes, their stories. She was always making connections, reaching out to others who needed that certain someone in their lives. She had very special friends who considered her a second mom, Peppie Dillard, Tacy Geautreaux, Kayla Kevilus and Andrea Huerta.
Vivian was not only my mom, she was my confidant, the person I could always rely on. She was my best friend, my everything and will be eternally missed. Love you mom, until we meet again at the gates of Heaven.
