"I am sorry to learn about the passing of Vi. I worked with her at Social Security. I really enjoyed receiving her Christmas cards and visiting her when she resided at Skyline. She was a wonderful person who will be missed. Deepest sympathy."

"Love and caring thoughts to the family of my friend, Vi, as she celebrates a glorious entry into heaven! VI was a beautiful lady, a compassionate friend, a lovely Christian, and faithful volunteer whom I met during her many years as a volunteer at Methodist Hospital. She was an understanding encourager to one who was newly widowed. We shared many wonderful lunches and a special friendship. May loving memories bring peace and comfort to her family."
