Vi absolutely loved her career and took pride in serving her clients. Vi had a very strong faith and loved her family deeply. Vi was full of energy and a fun loving person who was very easy to talk to and very outgoing. Traveling was a fun pastime for Vi, especially loving Las Vegas with her daughter.
