My deepest condolences to the Vickery family. Granny Vera was an amazing woman. I remember going to visit her when I went to Paige's house. I remember family suppers around the dining table with everyone there. Even though I wasn't a blood relative, that never stopped the Vickery family from making me feel welcome and Granny Vera never said "hello" or "goodbye" to me without a big hug. I know she will be missed greatly. We're sending all of our love, thoughts, and prayers.
