I loved Vivian!
I first met Vivian in 1980 , when I went to work for Coca Cola. Vivian was a very bright and Intelligent person, just like her two grown children and granddaughter., who she was always talking about to me.
Vivian was like a second mother to me. When John died I helped make many trips with my old pickup to the county dump, getting rid of just old stuff that John had , that was of no use. Vivian would get out with me and help toss items onto the hughe junk pile.
When Viv sold her house and moved to Zionsville, the kids and I went a couple times to see her.
Vivian taught me alot about life and one thing was to always set goals.
I would still go visit Vivian at assisted living but lately I could not make it.
Vivian would go to bed very early so she could get up early and walk.
Today while at Walmart, I decided to stop in and see her!
Today I found out she passed away.
Vivian would always ask me why was she still living and what was her purpose. I told Vivian she gave others at the home hope to live as long as she did, by her walking and her going to activities at the center.
Vivian today I tell you , I love you, just like when you would walk me out.
Trust me Vivian, you had a purpose!
I wont be at your funeral, but I will come in private and see you. You are finally with John again.
Let ev you, Teresa.
To Julie, Brent and Katie, Your mom was a amazing woman, so sorry for your loss. It is always hard to lose your mother.
