The obituary notice of Vivianne ARMITAGE

Viv and I first met at school when we were 11. Her nickname was Pip. We kept up our friendship throughout our schooldays and beyond with cards and letters. It was a joy to meet up with her and David at La Grande Basillaie when my husband Mike and I arrived with our touring caravan and spent a few nights with them at the start of our holidays in France. It was a great sadness to hear of her illness and decline. Since our last meeting in 2018, life has been challenging with Covid, and the grief of my Mike's death in 2022. I will always keep in my heart lovely memories of her

In loving memory of dear Viv. We first met at school when we were 11 and continued our friendship through the years, with greetings cards and letters. It was a joy to spend time with her and David at La Grande Basillaie when we arrived with our touring caravan to spend a few nights there. So very sad to hear of her passing. The photo shows the last time we met in 2018. Hard times since with Covid and my precious husband Mike's death. With love and sympathy, Margaret

Dearest Viv, I treasure all the lovely memories from over the sixty-five plus years, we have known each other. You will always be a very special friend to me, always ready with a smile and laughter. From our days at school, holidays together, days out, meeting up and enjoying digging your garden in France, so many wonderful times. Our love always, Sue & husband Paul

Love you always mum
