"I"m sadden to learn of Vi's passing, I wish I would have known earlier I would have attended her funeral. I so remember growing up down the street from her and Morri.....He drove that old 50's blue car....They both took in me and my family during the flood of 78' I still have many fond memories of her....RIP Vi...you are now with Morri"
