Vivian was a beloved friend, she being the one to keep our friendship fresh, I the fortunate recipient of that friendship spanning more than 50 years.
As time goes by, there is something about a long-term friendship that nourishes and sustains us, and we finally realize the beauty of it, sprinkled like gold-dust on our lives.
So it is with me, reviewing Vivvy’s presence, there in the wings, newsy letters documenting the progress of her children and her own enthusiasms following me around the world, she herself catching up with me now and then over the years when I was in Ontario, my pleasure and gratitude for her place in my life boundless.
We were quite unalike, but she was ever gracious in our differences, always there. I will miss her.
Rest with a happy heart, Vivvy.
Lovingly, Fran
