To the family of Vivian & Ed Siepak.

Vivian was a friend and co-worker of my sister Carol and we seemed to meet up with Vivian and Ed at various restaurants in the neighborhood for breakfast. That is how I met Vivian and Ed. I go to Sacret Heart Church and would meet up with them and talk after mass. Vivian would always ask about my family and offer a kind word or expression when needed. Ed was very quite but always lovingly at her side. As tragic as their death is, they both left their loving family together as in life. I am sure they would have wanted to be together no matter where. What a wonderful loving couple and so devoted to God and his works.

To the Family,



I have worked with Ed for almost two years and I have enjoyed everyday of it. Every afternoon I looked forward to seeing Vivian coming to pick up Ed. I will miss them both greatly, but i will keep all the stories they told me and advise they gave me alive. May god be there in this time of need for the entire family. God will make sure they are taken care of.
