Keith, Greg and families, I was so sorry to read of your Mom's passing. I don't know if you remember me or not but we played together as kids. I remember your Mom always taking her walks around the block. She always had a smile. Such a nice lady. I am truly sorry for your loss. Beth (Betsy)

Please accept my deepest sympathy to the family of Vivian, I remember her as such a sweet person. Her father, "Ozzie" worked with my Dad for the city of Mascoutah. He and Lena were good, kind folks. Ozzie would always wave to the kids from his red tractor on the way back to the city garage - always smiling and as happy as could be! They were so proud of your Mom. They were just an awesome yet humble family - treasure them always! I will keep you in my prayers even though our paths have never crossed. God Bless!
