Memorial donations can be made to Lory's Place of Hospice at Home or to the Michigan Association of Retired School Personnel - Berrien County Chapter (MARSP-BCC). Vivian and Serge have been long time supporters of Lory's Place as a resource for people (particularly children) to help deal with the grief of losing a loved one. The MARSP-BCC will be awarding up to a $1000 college scholarship in Vivian's honor to a student studying Speech and Language Pathology. All donations can be sent care of Starks & Menchinger Funeral Home.
Vivian was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer on January 6th 2012. She immediately started chemotherapy and along with some pain management started feeling better. At the end of March she started having severe abdominal pain. New scans revealed that tumors had spread throughout her liver and pancreas. That's where this blog picks up. Vivian passed away on April 26th, 2012.
