Greetings class of '79 -

My heartfelt condolences go out to all the families who have lost a love one during these difficult times. May God give you the strength to stay strong.

Hey Mark, good to hear that you are hanging in there.  It's been a very long time since we have crossed paths.  Seeing your name took me back to our days at Langley Middle school where we played on the basketball team together.  Just know that your Tech family is praying for a speedy recovery for you.  Also, if you need anything please reach out.

Dezma sorry to hear about the loss of your sister Viv. My condolences to you and your family.

Veronica "Tina" Lassiter (Hudson)

Dezi, words just can't express how heart broken I felt learning the devasting news of the passing of your beloved baby sister/my dear friend Vivian. I am still in disbelief.  Viv had such a sweet, loving, kind and humerous spirit about her and I will truly miss her.  The last time I saw her was a few years ago when she was so gracious enough to bring me some White Hennessey back from Bermuda while she and Ricardo were vacationing!  We met up in Wegman's parking lot and we hugged, talked and laughed reminicing about the good old days and all the craziness going on in this world!  Although I knew something was going on in her life by the Facebook prayer requests you posted, I had no idea she was battling cancer!  I HATE CANCER!  My deepest condolences and prayers go out to you and your family during this most difficult time of bereavement. Rest in Paradise my beloved friend Vivian Chase Walker until we meet again. Gone but will never be forgotten! 

Pamela Nixon (Nixon-Mckisset)

Good morning all-

Dez, sorry to hear the lost of your sister Vivian, may her soul rest in heavenly peace.  The comfort in knowing the LOVE, your family and friends shared with her! Be blessed.
