I am so late in writing that I don't know if anyone will even see this. You have been in my thoughts.
I have so many good memories of friendship and going to the house in Elba visiting with your family; the trips to the mountains, City of Rocks, and Young Adult activities. Your Mom was always so fun and Welcoming to all who came through your door. Lots of Love to you.
From Cedric & Sonya Taylor:
We will always remember your friendly, loving mother. She was always friendly and we enjoyed coming to your pleasant home and playing cards and having dinner with the missionaries. Fond memories!

Homemade bread and raspberry jam, from the berry patch in back.
My aunt's house held many good memories for me and my siblings and cousins. The post office was a magical place to my child eyes. Aunt Vivian let me read the "Grit" newspapers--I enjoyed that very much. I remember laying on that huge rag rug in her living room, and watching an episode of "Branded" on the TV with AnnaLee and Laurie.
My baby brother Corey was laid for his funeral viewing in Keith and Vivian's living room.
Vivian and Keith were quite a pair. Both very memorable. To mention just one thing in particular: Vivian had an incredible capacity for chores--and she was so physically strong!
How wonderful to be remembered with such gratitude and admiration. I hope we all live as well as Aunt Vivian.
Love from our family to Annalee, Laurie, and Penny, from all of my clan.
From Arlene Ward:
Annalee, Laurie, and Penny, we just now learned of your mothers passing. Of course there are no words, but just know that we thought so much of your mother and will miss her. She was a big part of my life and this leaves a big hole in my heart.
From Vickie Stumpe:
So sorry to hear of your loss. We always had a soft spot in our hearts for her. Dad (Richard Goodfellow) remembers when she would take him to the movies about once a week. He thought of her as a sister. What sweet memories. I was actually going to try to get up there to see her this summer. I was just starting to make plans. I'm sorry I missed her. I hope Heavenly Father can bring you lots of comfort in this time of sorrow. Love, Richard and Kathryn Goodfellow and kids. Vickie, Rick, Guy, Shelly, Gwen and Shane

Vivian was a true example of Christ like love. I remember many times dropping by her house to see Penny and she would be studying her scriptures. I will miss her.
From Dennis & Pauline Erickson:
So sorry to say Goodbye to a lovely lady and friend. May the family find comfort in knowing we care.
From Kirk Ottley:
I was deeply saddened to read that your mother had died, and I wish you comfort and solace in this time of sorrow! I have many fond memories of working and visiting with Vivian on those occasions when families did that sort of thing on a regular basis. And beyond that, your mom and dad were always like second parents to me when I was a child, throughout my teen years, and always throughout my life whenever I had the opportunity to come home. I will never forget the kindness and generosity of spirit your mother always showed me, and anyone with whom she came in contact. May you find peace and joy in your memories of the great woman that she was! Take good care of yourselves!
From Matt Darrington:
So long Aunt Vivian. I will miss your hospitality.
From Jan Sangster:
Beautiful Penny, you were clearly the correct woman for the job! She was a good woman, and I will miss her dearly. She had a good run.
From Dendra Stratton:
One of my most embarrassing moments was that my wedding reception. We had been standing in line so long and up walked this lady I knew but I couldn't place. It was Aunt Vivian I could not believe she took the time to come all the way from Idaho just to be at my wedding reception. She graciously accepted my apologies for not recognizing her immediately.
She holds a very special place in my heart. I want to send my love to all the girls and let them know that I wished I could be there and then give them all a hug. Instead I will send them my love.
From Jeanette Babbitt :
Love you. Memories never die.
From Lance and Marvene Gubler:
What a magnificent lady. She was always loving and welcoming when ever we were together. She will be missed. Love to you all.
From Jule Wadsworth:
We mourn with you. She was my other mother.
