Vi was such a sweet and loving woman. She meant the world to me and will be missed. She had the brightest smile and so much love. I am keeping the family on my thoughts and prayers. Love you all and wish I could be there with you
Love, Lynda (Schmidt) Fielda
I was sorry to hear about Vi. She was a bright spot at the CB and I loved her. I will miss seeing her here on earth but I know I will see her again and we will talk, talk, talk. My sympathy and prayers go out to you kids and grandkids, some I know. You’re mom was a great woman who was friends with everyone. I pray knowing she is with Jesus will comfort you.
Vi was always fun to be around. She always had a funny thing to make you laugh. I will miss her but know she is with Jesus now. I loved her very much.
Love and sympathy to her extended family. Vi was a good and loving soul. Always there to celebrate, encourage or console. She will be kept in my heart as a blessing.
Vi is already so deeply missed. We looked forward to bingo just for one of her light hugs! Saying/sending prayers for God to comfort the family’s hurting hearts.
Love, Dee and Sis McClain
