Condolence: I didn't know Vi all that well but she attended my Monday exercise class at McLean and I enjoyed her. I have to say she was the best dressed of all of us. Reading her lovingly written obituary made me smile and, of course, made me wish I had gotten to know her better. I do know her neighbors at the Burkholder really enjoyed her and will miss her spunk. Also, I would never have guessed she was 94. Please know that I am thinking of you all. Fondly, Laura Chandler, Silver Sneakers Instructor

Condolence: Vi was such a special lady. I have had the privledge of knowing her and enjoying her wonderful zest and love of life. We have also shared many hours at the bridge table,where she excelled. I just loved being in her company. She was so happy to have our group from Hop Meadow CC playing at her home at the Burkeholder during the winter. She took a group of us to see her beautiful apartment,which she loved so much. How fun that was for her and for all of us. She will be sorely missed alot. Sincerely, Bernice Epstein

Condolence: Vi was the perfect lady, beautifully dressed, great sense of humor, good bridge player, wonderful friend. She will be sorely missed by her Hopmeadow Country Club bridge group. "To live on in the hearts of those you have loved is not to die."
