Vivion Hope Driver, cherished daughter of Ben and Sterling, little sister to Benjamin and treasure to thousands of people, far and wide, was born on April 1st 2022 at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri.
Vivion was small but mighty and developed all the way to term despite a fatal diagnosis of full Trisomy 18 and Hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Ben and Sterling, incredible parents to their son, continued to be extraordinary parents to their daughter in every way possible.
Though she was born without a heartbeat there is great joy and comfort in knowing that the first thing she saw when she opened her little eyes was the face of Jesus and that she was eagerly greeted in heaven by her great-grandmothers Fredia, Nona, Willadeane and Betty.
Vivion never knew pain, she never felt cold or hunger and never knew ‘want.’ Vivie only knew pure love: the comfort of her Mother’s warmth and the love in her Daddy’s voice.
She will forever be held in the hearts of her parents, her big brother, her grandparents Patrick & Cynthia Driver and Terry & Connie Swayze, her aunts Rachel Gabriel and Leslie Driver along with Jessie Youngblood - Miller and the multitude of people Vivion Hope’s life touched.
Vivion Hope was loved and adored by all and always will be.
