Beloved Friend Remembered: Sheila Keter Mourns the Loss of Her ‘Chaos Partner,’ Vivi

 

By Sheila Keter

In a world that sometimes feels too quiet, Sheila Keter is remembering the laughter that once filled every corner of her life — the laughter of her best friend, Vivi.

“She was my chaos partner, my secret keeper, my ride or die,” Keter said, smiling through tears. “The only person who ever called me Shee and somehow made it sound like love every single time.”

The two shared countless memories — spontaneous trips, late-night talks, and moments so funny they ended in tears of laughter. “She had this way of turning an ordinary day into an adventure,” Keter recalled. “Everything was brighter, louder, and funnier with her around.”

Vivi, she said, was “sunshine, trouble, and comfort all in one.” Whether lifting spirits or keeping confidences, she made life feel electric — unpredictable, but safe.

As Keter faces life without her friend, she finds solace in imagining Vivi exactly as she was: dancing, laughing, and spilling secrets even among angels. “I miss you every day, Vivi,” she said softly. “Love you forever.”
