It is with unimaginable heartbreak that we share the sudden, unexpected loss of Vivianne. Vivianne was a precious, radiant 8-year-old whose life, though FAR too short, was filled with love, joy, and faith.

Vivianne will forever be her mother and father’s whole world…she was their only child. She was immeasurably sweet, kind, and full of happiness. She loved God and Jesus with her whole heart. She loved singing gospel songs, and going to bible study with her daddy. Vivianne loved watching musicals and learning the songs with her Mama. They loved harmonizing together, dancing around the kitchen… turning everyday moments into cherished memories. This year, she was beaming to have been chosen for choir. We were all so proud.

Vivianne was a social butterfly, joyful, and kind to everyone she met. Vivianne was always ready to talk, laugh, and be right alongside her mommy and the “big girls” she adored.

Just days before this loss, Vivianne—who was named to honor Camera’s late mother—had asked “Mommy, am I going to be with grandma when I get to heaven?” This was such an innocent, faith-filled hope spoken by a child who believed deeply in love beyond this world. We find peace in knowing Camera’s mother and grandmother were there to welcome Vivianne into heaven with the most loving of embraces.

Vivianne was taken far too soon. On Christmas Eve, of all days…leaving behind a grief no parent should ever have to bear. We are coming together as a community to surround V’s mom and dad with love, prayer, and support during this unimaginable time. Funds raised will help provide support as they begin to navigate life after the loss of their beautiful little girl. Please consider contributing, no matter how big or small the amount. If you can’t—please please share to spread the word.

Thank you for honoring Vivianne’s life through your love, prayers, and generosity. Her light, music, and faith will live on forever. Forever singing, forever dancing, and forever loved.
