A precious lady, I’ve known my entire life.

The Mayflower community was blessed to have Mrs. Viv as a member. Anyone who ever heard her play the piano could easily tell her love for the Lord and how well she used her talents. Prayers for the entire family.

To all of you prayers of comfort as we all wait for our turn to join her at Jesus' feet along with countless other family members and friends. She always reminded me of Great-Grandma Young for she closely resembled her. She was so sweet and truly tickled to see me at the reunions. May God's peace rest on each one and may each of you know Jesus personally as she did. Love and prayers.

Rick, Jodie, Haley and family I am so sorry to hear of your loved ones’ passing. Last gathering we had at your home , she and I talked and she told me about being able to still play piano at church and how she never missed. She was such a sweet lady and I am glad I got to meet her. Prayers for you guys now and in days ahead.

RIP Cousin , You were always so sweet to everyone. I enjoyed the night at your house eating all that good food when Pat invited me and I showed up on your amazing regular cooking night for your family. That was a few years ago but I will never forget your hospitality and the sweetness that you have passed down through your kids and grandkids etc. God has called a jewel home, and her name is Vivian. God comfort your family now â£ï¸ Love your cousin Mary Ann Young Hughes.

I remember growing up and being over at Aunt Vivians house so many times for dinners and what not! She lived just right down from Meemaws old place so it was easy just go hang out at her home too. Loved seeing her at church when I would go visit. Such a sweet soul. Loved her family dearly. She will forever be missed but I know she is rejoicing in heaven now! My prayers to all the family.â¤ï¸

You're resting in the arms of Jesus my Sweet Cousin. You were so Loved by all your Family near and far. You were a treasure sent from heaven. We all loved your piano playing you could really make it ring out to the roof tops. Rest in Peace now because you'll soon be singing and playing in Heaven with the angels. Love and prayers to all that's left behind.

What a life she lived. She made me a wonderful neighbor. Always had me some veggie soup, the best. Loved her worship. No one will ever play the piano like Sis. Vivian. We all will miss her but she has no worries, no pain and all joy with her Jesus. Prayers for her family. No one can fill her shoes. I loved her.

To the Family, I don't have to say what a fine Lady Mrs. Vivian was. I have a lot of precious memories
of her when I was a kid because of my Aunt Clara, and my Cousin Kenneth, She was just like kin folks.
I will always remember you Mrs. Vivian, your work here on Earth is over go rest high on that mountain.
The Lord needs you to play the piano and sing up in heaven with all the other one's that went on before you. Love You Randy !
