Love and will miss you Miss Vicki. One of the most friendly, loving people I have ever met. A visit or text from you would always make the day seem brighter. I know you were so proud of your girls finding the faith that you held so firmly throughout your time here, and know that you earned your way to heaven and will always watch over them. Rest in peace without pain or worry.
I first met Vicki when I was 16. She was so much fun to be around. She loved life. She loved to laugh.She loved her family and she was always kind to everyone. She always said how much she loved sitting under the stars. I have countless fond memories of cold beer and campfires. Camping out at the lake or on the river. We had a big group back then and we always had fun. Vicki had a beautiful soul and no matter how much time or space came between us I count myself lucky to have known Vicki and I’m thankful for friendship we shared. I’m so happy that she has a relationship with Jesus. She is with him now. More alive now than she ever was here. Young and vibrant embraced in Gods presence knowing only joy happiness peace and love for all eternity.Till we meet again just know that you will always have a special place in my heart. I love you Vicki.
