I was saddened to learn of the passing of Vivian who was my colleague and my good friend for so many years. Her insights and remarkable sense of humor often helped nourish me and I will cherish those memories of Vivian, always. My deepest condolences to her sons and the family. Her memory will always be a blessing.

My full name is Paula Barkan Klawans Madansky. Im 86 years old. I knew the Schatzman family all my life. My Aunt Serna Barkan was Vivian’s cousin.
I remember visiting the family compound when I was a little girl. I thought Vivian was so beautiful. And kind and nice as well. I think I planted an apple seed in one of the back yards.
She was an amazing woman. Lived life to the fullest. Iim happy to have known her.
