I respected Vicki so much and always enjoyed the interactions that I had with her here at work. I know that she will be sorely missed.
Just want to express my sympathy for all of you at this time. You are on our minds & in our prayers.
Jennifer & Jeff our prayers and thoughts are with you two at this time. My God bless you!
Jennifer, Jeff, & the rest of the family...........
I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't begin to imagine what the two of you are going through. I am so saddened by this. I loved Vicki, dearly & she always was such a true friend. We might go months, even a year or so before we would get in touch with each other, but we were always able to start right where we had left off. When my only brother passed away in January, Vicki signed his guest book & told me she would have been there for me if she had known in time. And, I know she would have. It meant alot to me, that's the kind of friend Vicki was. I will forever think of her & never forget the good times & talks we have had & our trip to Albuquerque we took together several years ago. My thoughts & prayers will be with you all. May God wrap His loving arms around each & every one of you. Love, Debbie
I'll see ya again sister.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
