Chad, your mother, Vivian was one of the first people I met when I moved to Virginia in 1972, she lived across from Peytons store~~ she & I shared lots of laughs, as well as some tears, she was a kind and wonderful friend, always smiling~~ Vivian was BEAUTIFUL in side and out.
I pray that God wraps his loving arms around you and your family to comfort you with his
peace.
