Vivian was a kind lady with a lovely heart. Sending condolences
Sending so much love and support to Aunt Vivian’s entire family at this tender time. I lived with Aunt Vivian and Uncle Laird for a month when I was four years old, when my parents went to Alaska. I have nothing but gentle memories of Aunt Vivian. She was kind and caring to me, and I can’t imagine it was easy having another child afoot when she was already busy cooking, sewing, and caregiving. I also have many other fond memories over the years, of picnics, reunions, and of her supporting the men as they made sauerkraut in the basement of her bustling home. What a beautiful life she created. Big love to you all as you honour her incredible legacy.
Richard & I send our condolences to Marie, Norman & all Vivian’s family. I have fond childhood memories of all the Glenn family on the Bayfield Rd. Vivian was always kind & had such a lovely smile ! Hugs Laurine
