She will be missed.😞. We always had nice chats on the greens & when I occasionally drove her home from winter indoor Lawn bowling.

I will miss Vivian, there are not that many people around these days with her kind of grit and fun. Condolences to Marvin and family.

To Vivian's Kwan's family  my sincere condolences. My memories of Vivian on the Bowling green were always one as a competitor. We also had lots of laughs and often played to out wit each other. I always welcomed her when she was selected to play with me on the same team I knew then that we had a winning team.  God bless her.

We will miss Vivian so much. She was an inspiration on how to bowl and how to live life - kind and determined; gentle and fierce all at the same time.
Our sympathy to Marvin and family.

To Marvin and family, it was with great sadness that we learned of Vivian's passing.  It was an honour to have met her and bowled with her.   She was a very gentle soul, but a fierce competitor, evident from the many medals she won.
She will be missed greatly by the bowling community and  remembered for her cheery smile, strength of character and her kindness.  
May your memories of her bring you comfort at this difficult time.
We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers and send heartfelt condolences Barb and Tony Spencer
