I am so sad to read of Viv's sudden passing. We met thanks to being Mum's of children at St Patrick's at the same time. Viv was such a lovely person, always so bright and chatty. You felt better for having seen her on 'that' day. We are thinking of you all at this time of sadness.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth and Wayne Meredith
