Our deepest sympathy to Murray and family on Vivian's passing. A lovely bright lady who will be missed by many. Rest in Peace Dear One
I didn’t personally know Vivian but from how Fiona speaks of her she sounded like a real go getter and lovely lady. I would guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and I’m sure your mum was so proud of you Fiona and your wonderful family. You had a special bond so remember all those wonderful moments going forward. You are strong and resilient Fiona so one day at a time xo.
I remember Vivian in our Snells Beach Monday walkers group. A lovely gracious lady and enjoyed a good cuppa afterwards. RIP Vivian
I wanted to pay tribute to Vivian such a friendly and welcoming presence at the Warkworth Bridge Club she will be missed but kindly remembered.

When we first met, we instantly felt as though we had already known one another for a lifetime. RIP dear Lady.
