I reflect on nearly three decades ago…Vivian watching the 4 grandchildren while working feverishly scurrying about in the kitchen, but seemed to be managing it all effortlessly. All of this through my kitchen window. She so much enjoyed to help Terry, Kerry and the growing family. Viv, you will be surely missed
