Dan. Knowing you and having a bottle of that amazing homemade sauce, your amazing support of me and you accepting the meals provided in the recent months has made me feel part of your special circle of family and friends. Viv I learnt today that you and I probably played rep bowls at the same time confirming I had seen/met you. My heart and thoughts to Dan and all his family and friends. A very special couple and family

My thoughts and deepest sympathy are with you all at this time. Viv is no longer suffering. You have supported and loved Viv all through these difficult months, now she can rest peacefully, young again and remembered by you all as a talented, loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother and friend.

I worked with Viv at MSD's data matching centre in the early 2000s. She was smart and full of ideas, but more importantly she was so much fun, happy and had a very naughty sense of humour!

Imagine my surprise when her daughter Dawn was looking after my boys a few years later - the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Viv's diagnosis showed that you are a strong family with huge heart. Dan, what a good man you are and you made Viv very happy.

Eat, drink and continue to live life knowing that Viv is with you in your heart. Hugs to everyone xx
