Mel and family.We just want to tell you how sorry we are in the lose of Vi. Our singing buddy is now singing from above. We had so much fun for so many years doing what we loved best–making music. She was a great leader and we all looked up to her. We also want to thank you so much for taking such good care of her over the last few years. You are a true Saint. Vi did so much for everyone, they all came first. She was the happiest when all the little children were around her. The noise seemed to put a gleam in her eyes. We know that your family will be there for you and so will we.
Much love from,Bennie Joyce Nancy Jennifer Nadine and Families
