Vivian was a wonderful dedicated individual at Developmental Services, Inc., in Big Stone Gap, where our son Carl went to the activities center. She was always pleasant, professional, and loving to each of those she worked with. She was loved to by parents and guardians of the individuals at the center, and when she retired, there was a vacuum that no one could fully fill as she was able to.
