The impact that Vivian had on me and my brother is hard to describe. Throughout my childhood, Vivian and I spent almost every day together-- chatting and joking around. In more recent years, we would always share a heartfelt hug and a laugh about her new hair colour or outfits, as we caught up on what's new.

Vivian's optimism, kindness, and unabating love had a significant impact on me, and left many fond memories. The time we spent together over the years, and love we shared, made us family; and she will be missed as such.

In over 10 years of knowing Tita Vivien, I can say she was someone who was never without a smile whenever I’d see her. She had the most infectious laugh and a sarcastic sense of humour. And she was so fiercely proud to support me and all the young people she knew. She will be missed.

Vivian was such a warm, caring, lighthearted person. Being a family friend, I saw how how lucky the Lee family were to have Vivian in their lives for so many years. She was devoted to Alex and Chris, and to all the Lee family. She was so proud of 'her' two boys!
I will always remember the last long conversation I had with her, about a week before Alex got married. She was bursting with excitement about the wedding, all the preparations , what she was going to wear, all the details-her enthusiasm was so infectious.
Rest in peace Vivian. Your smiling face, laughter and kindness will be remembered forever.

Vivian was a constant kind presence in my life. From when I was a child to recent years she would always offer a smile, hug or kind word. Her absence is greatly felt.
