I am deeply saddened to hear Vivian passed away. She was a wonderful person who always showed compassion for her job and family. She will be truly missed. My condolence goes out to her family and the friends who loved her.
Kevynn Velasquez says
When we honestly take time out and ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most us, we often find that it is those who truly cares. Instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures,they have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. A friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares and a friend like Vive who will never be forgotten. My deepest condolences to the family and may God continue to watch over all of you through out this transition.
Lorraine Smith says
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. Please accept my condolences.

I can remember Mrs Renteria driving us around in her Dodge Caravan. She was always so nice when we were at her house hanging out, always had a smile on her face and always so sweet. It is nice to look at how much love she poured into her family and it shows. Michael and Felix, I’ve known your family forever it seems, so many good laughs and I love you all so much. Keep your relationship with God first in your life and continue to be great men! Blessings to you all.

To the Dear Family
Vive was and will always be a jewel in my heart. I meet her many years ago when I was pregnant with my son and she always would ask how are the children. She would huge me and say we will catch up later. May GOD continually keep and hold you in his arms. Only he can and he will. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
