Vi was a significant part of my life growing up because I spent many hours and days at her house with Michelle. She always made me feel welcome in her home and like I was one of her kids. I know she will be missed. My prayers are with you all! Asael & Sandy Sievers samace@bdawg.net We are sorry to hear of your mom's passing Vi; she was a very neat lady. We pray you and your family will find comfort in the days ahead.
