Aunt Vivian, you will truly be missed. Billy, I can't pretend to know what it feels like to lose a mother, I can tell you that I know she is in a better place than you or I though. Just think...She is finally back with Uncle Willie and my Granddaddy. You, Lila and Jay are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Billy and Lila,

How sad I was to learn of the passing of Miss Vivian. But how thankful I am that I was able to see her recently even if it was in the ER. I have no doubt that Mom and Dad will greet her with open arms, and oh, what stories they will share. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Love,

Sandra (Scoggins) Cail
