So sorry to hear about Vien. She was such a nice lady. I always enjoyed talking to her. I didn't get to see her very often since I work in a different building but when I did she was always so gracious. And always with a smile on her face. My condolences to all of her family.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I worked with Vien at Nationwide. She always had a smile and would ask "how are you". May you find comfort in sharing your memories with family and freinds. Although Vien may be gone, she will not be forgotten.

So sorry to hear about Vien's passing. I have worked with her for many years, though not in the same department. I liked her very much. She was always so friendly and professional and very good at what she did. She was such a special person and joy to work with when I had the chance.
