 Spitfire was right! I can still hear that southern drawl, Leeeeawwn! God, she was a hoot. Life of the party & the most loving, generous, drop everything for you kind of gal. I have so many memories of the lake, their houseboat, at Gram's house in Florida. My dad always raved about Aunt Viv's white gravy. When I got older & tried to make it, Daddy said, "It's good Annie, but it's not Aunt Viv 's." Damn straight.  Nothing will ever be as good as Aunt Viv's. Sending much love and prayers to the family.

First time I met Vivian at Leon's in Ky she was still hobbling around on a cane,from thier unique first meeting. What a spitfire she was, rapid wit and speech with that southern drawl of hers and oh what a laugh. She filled every room she ever entered. She spread joy and love. She would probably hate this post.....Vivian hated to say goodbye, could not go to a funeral, and I respected that. She had to say goodbye to so many she loved. 
What an amazing blessing this woman was to everyone who knew her.
