Sheri,
I will really miss Vivian. Absolutely every time I saw her in the nursing home, she gave me a great smile and conversed so cheerfully. It was a great privilege to be her doctor.
Sheri & Ernie, Bill & Mary, I hardly know what to say. Your mom was such a wonderful caring person. We had so many good times together. Worked together for several years, and visited her and your dad at home so many times. Your mom had such a great sense of humor and always had a smile for everyone. She’ll be missed so much.
Sincerely, Irene & Harold Amos
