Christopher Johnston wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Mark and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I only met Vivian once or twice (at the gym, with Mark) but Mark, you spoke of her often and fondly when we would run into each other particularly in the mornings. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Chris Johnston”
