Aunt Vivian and Uncle Ray were wonderful hosts to my family when I was very young. Last time I saw Vivian I told her how much I enjoyed learning to play croquet in her backyard. I was the youngest cousin, but I could play with the best of them and sometimes win. I can still hear her delightful laugh. Love goes with you on your journey Aunt Vivian. Susan E.

Vivian was our neighbor. My dad and mom, Lester and Eileen Keip, lived on Schlimgen Avenue. Ray and my dad both worked at Oscars. Lots of great memories of this wonderful couple. I will miss Vivian's smile and laugh.
