Dear Family of Vivian Gessel,
I remember your sweet Mother from the 1950’s when she was my Mutual teacher in Walla Walla. She was so nice & had her class come over to your house on several occasions. I thought she was one of the loveliest & kindest women I had ever met & remembered her all these years! I know you will miss her, but I know she will be welcomed in Heaven for the wonderful person that she was. Sincerely, Sherrill Lee
You have our sympathy’s and prayers at this difficult time. Hopefully that she is in a special place with Brandt, will bring you peace. She was a very wonderful woman.
Love from all of us.
Bob & Judy, Pattie Eagon, Kellie Avery, Jayne Foster, Brian & Doug Rehberg and their families.
Our sympathy to all the family for their loss. We enjoyed knowing and sharing our lives with Vivian. We miss her! Becky and the Richland Gardens Staff
