Vida was my aunt, my daddy’s sister and she was one of the kindest most sincere people I have ever known. My parents divorced when we were small but Aunt Vida would always ask about my mom whenever she saw us girls. She has always been there for my dad and us and we loved her tremendously. I had a nice conversation with her on Thanksgiving and got to tell her how much I loved her. She will be deeply missed. Prayers for Mike, Julie & family
To all the families of Mrs.Vida,
We are very sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom and sister. She will be missed by many and please know we are sending each of you up in prayer during this most difficult time.
Sincerely,
David and Lenace Vaughn and Liz Gurley
