To Trevor and all your family I extend my deepest sympathy at this sad time. Vivien was a very special lady loved by so many for all the help and kindness she gave so kindly and efficiently to so many youngsters. She was such a delight always so warm and friendly. I held her in the greatest respect and remember her fondly. She will be greatly missed. Shirley Anne

The decision that Vivien and Trev made in 1973 to welcome me had literally the most life changing impact. You know ;) Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the chance to be deeply known by the most important person in my life. Vivien's love, support and understanding at that time was the most fundamentally impactful act and has given me a lifetime of being connected. I cannot thank Vivien and all of you enough. I wish I had said this sooner. I am so grateful. xx Shari

Hi folks, Well, memories of your Mum are quite varied and go back a fair few years. From the time that we were summoned from class to make the walk from our classroom to the dental clinic to converse in depth about dental hygiene. The years rolled by and Gail would spend time up at your house with Suella, and my friendship with Hellen started in Form 2 and lasts to this day. There were many nights spent at the house in Kasper street, where Vivien and Trevor would play host to us young folk, freshly out of school and full of ideas and lion Red. Or Joseph Coutts if you were flash. I remember spending time with Vivien discussing shares and investing which was always interesting and informative. Our thoughts are with Trevor and the family, and we look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
