    Jack and Bender Family,
    We are deeply sorry for your loss. Kind words soften the hurt but love of family and friends will give you strength during this time. I will fondly remember Vi as a happy lovely person. Whenever I met with Vi she talked so proudly of her family. Keep close to your heart her love and the memories of your mother that will become treasures.
    Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
    Deb & Dave
