Dear Diane,Pete,John,Googoo, Nada, and all Families;
+Vi, as I knew her for years; +A-vaj, from our choir years.....was one special lady! She always had a smile and big hug for those of us who knew and loved her. Personally, she was always there to lend an ear and share stories with me, of her beloved +Mother and her family. She loved the fact that I was +Dan's teacher at Addams. She loved to tell me how +Dan tried to tell her who his teacher was, and that she still had the class holiday cookbook we made.She kept it after all those wonderful years! Also, our chats about my babysitting days with the Bradich kids! I loved her and will always cherish the fond memories I have of her in my life. May her ever-sweet, loving, kind soul, have eternal peace!

My deepest sympathies to you all. Vjecnaja Pamjat dear +Vi..
