This memorial website was created in the memory of our beloved wife, mother and friend, Lynda Vital, 59, born on April 17, 1952 and passed away on December 13, 2011. We will love her forever.
Our beautiful celebration of life for mom was held nearly two months ago and it was truly one of the best days of all of our lives.
Thank you to all who took the time to be with us. So many travelled from states away to show their love and we are all so grateful for each and every one of you. For those who couldn't make it please know you were there! We know your love was present from afar.
Please continue to celebrate mom by remembering her vivacious spirit and love for life and by doing the same.
She wants us all to be happy.
Please also continue to connect with my brothers, Crystal, Xavier dad and I at any time with a call, email and continue to write on her site. We miss her as do you, but can continue to remember her by all staying so close.

Tributes
Leave a tributeRemember all those years ago, you made a Christmas card as if it was from my dear Police Horse, Cavalier - complete with his Christmas wish list and a wonderful drawing of him. I just hung it up again today (again), with all my this year's cards. And every year when I hang it up, you are right in the room with me, and all our crazy sweet memories. Sending peace and love...
Me and Issy got a sweet one eyed pit bull. You helped forge my bond with doggies and all animals. 20 years later I finally have a dog of my own. I can’t believe it took me this long and yet we were waiting for him the whole time. Thanks if you had anything to do with sending him our way. You would love him so much! Thanks for the inspiration! I love you lots mom and miss you of course as always:)
Love, Nancy Dickie

BTW - I'm collecting Social Security now like you could too if you were still alive, you knucklehead!

Rozlyn preferred the uphill playground than the cold, rainy beach. So as she stomped in puddles and dangerously climbed the jungle gym I stood behind her, looked down at the sound and the sea and talked to her about you. I reminded her of all the water ways being mixed together somehow...though you were taken out to sea at Craigville your particles may just have made their way to the sound somehow or come down from the sky in raindrop form that lands on our coats or our hands as we try not to get too cold on the metal playground. You may just be in a billion particles everywhere.
Rozlyn doesn’t look a thing like you, she looks like Walt and I and Anthony and his mom, but dear lord, she’s a lot like you. Like Gilda Radner or Jane curtain or Lucille ball, funny as all get out. I’d like a spitting image of you because I miss your gorgeous face daily, but I’ll take the spirit of you. She’s a spit fire, mom, and though we weren’t beside the sea like I enjoy being every December 13th, I was beside you because I was beside her. I love you, Manna. Seven years and always counting. Seven is a magical number. I think I’ll believe in the magic of this year of you being gone. Your daughter,
Lizzy
Thank you for being such an enlightened parent to all of us in high school. I learned the most about parenting from you. You mothered me and all of us with such patience, forgiveness, and grace. You taught me to mother myself. You always encouraged us to be our best selves. I hope I can provide such grace and influence to my son, Emmitt, and his friends as you did for me. I know you can hear us when we think of you.
All my love to the beautiful Vital Family today and every day.
