What a Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong
[Verse 1]
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
[Verse 2]
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed days, the dark sacred nights
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
[Bridge]
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, “How do you do?”
They’re really saying, “I love you”
[Verse 3]
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more
Than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

We are so sorry to hear of Vi’s passing. Our sincere condolences to the Hickey and Morgan family. My memories of Vi go back a long way from when, as a little girl, I would visit Aunt Else’s house with my mom and dad. In the last few years, when I have had the occasion to chat with Vi, I especially noticed her sweet smile and always kind words, even amidst the medical dilemma she faced. May you find comfort in your special memories of her.
