The void left by Vivian can never be filled, both as a team member and as a friend. Vivian moved mountains in everything she tackled and achieved at a very young age what most people will not achieve in a lifetime. How lucky was I to have her as part of my team and to have walked a couple of steps beside her during her short life journey. Vivian had the unique ability to deliver with excellence and passion but always bring grace and elegance to the conversation.
She had a profound impact on me and the team and it gave me so much joy to see her star shining more brightly day by day. Her brilliance and astuteness was quickly recognised by the international tax community and I was so proud of how she represented CCBA. Vivian made a positive impact on me, our people and the work that she contributed. Vivian and her beautiful smile will never be forgotten.
