Hi Vickie,
Gosh today makes 6 long years you have been gone and yet it seems like yesterday. I miss you and always will. We sure had a special life long friendship and I tresure it so so much. I woke up about 5 this morning with you on my mind guess that was your way of saying hi. I love your family and those little grandkids are so amazing I know you are busting at the seams with pride and you have that huge smile on your face. Every 4th and 24th when the fire works are going off it gives me peace because you loved them so much and the holidays. Keep watching over all of us we all love and miss you. Lois

Hi Vickie just want to wish you a Happy Heavenly 63rd Birthday. I miss you so much and so much has gone on in life that I would love to talk over with you. I still miss your calls to keep me up dated on the news and all that went on. I'm glad we had the special friendship we did. Your grandkids are growing like weeds and miss Brynlee is so much a little Vickie it is unreal. I just love it. They all keep Cindy and Scott very busy and on their toes. Doug is a wonderful grandpa and a skinny one too! He keeps busy and misses you tons. Sam is working hard and fishing hard with Doug too. Well my dear Thanks again for the years we had. I think and talk about so often and will never forget you. sending tons of love today and always. Happy Birthday my BFF.

I sure wished we could share this day together again but memories are the next best thing. I miss you and always will we sure had a wonderful friendship (sisters in heart for sure).Your sweet family is doing so good I know you are just busting at the seams with pride and getting the biggest kick out of those little grandkids. Wished I could hug you in person again but you know how much I loved you and your family. Tell my mom,Dad,Brent hello and keep watching over all of us. Your BFF Lois

Hi Vickie,
I wanted to say hi and I can't believe it has been so long since I have wrote to you. I've been thinking about you a lot and missing you tons. I sure could use a cup of coffee and the big visit and lunch too. We did have some good times together and I treasure them. One wonderful blessing I have from you is the love from your family. Your Cindy is the sweetest young lady. You would be so proud of her and all she does. Doug and you have some of the cutest little grandkids ever and smart too. Sam never forgets to wish me the best when there is a holiday of any kind. He is sweet just like his mama.I hope you are taking good care of my mom I sure miss her. There is so many of our neighbors with you now I bet you are all having club. Well just wanted to say and let you know you still are my BFF. Lois

Hi Vic,
well have been seeing beautiful sunsets lately and they remind me of you. Also with the 4th and 24th and many fireworks I just remember how much you love the holidays. I can't believe it has been the 4 long years without you. keep watching over us and my sweet mom who is with you. Love and Miss you so much
July 14, 2011
My sweet Mama, I miss you more than any words could EVER express. I cannot believe that I haven't written on here in so long. I'm sorry, it doesn't mean that I don't spend everyday thinking about you though, because I do. I can hardly stand that it has been four years since you left us. It has gotten so much harder for me, for you not to be here. Dad has taken over with our phone conversations and I love it. I love that I can call him whenever I want and we will just talk about our day like I used to do with you. I miss YOU though. I still listen to your message you left for me on my voice mail back in January of 2007. "Hi Cindy! Call your Mama!" I so wish that I could. I am almost always prompted to "save or erase" the message when I need to hear your voice the most. I am so glad that it keeps letting me save it! I think about you so often. Little Brynlee is a constant reminder of you. She does things daily that are you. From that silly little closed eyed grin, to the grandpa grit, to pushing her baby stroller- she looks like you pushing your walker. When putting her to bed at night I have to tuck her in and give her kisses. Real kisses, Eskimo kisses, butterfly kisses and now "Grandma kisses". She makes me squeak in her ear like you always did to us. I love it so much. I love that the things that you did long before they were here, live on today. She looks so much like you and I love it so much. People that knew you, say it all the time. She's growing up so fast and is so sweet. Kaden is such an awesome kid too. You'd be so proud of the little man that he is growing up to be. He's so intelligent and athletic. He's good at just about anything he tries and I love that about him. He is so very caring, loving and sensitive... His personality reminds me of you as well as his immense love of sugar! You two would be trouble!:) He asks me questions about you all of the time. He is quick to pick up on when I am sad over you and is even quicker to console me and give me a sweet little hug. He's four. :) I was telling him a story about you and I got teary eyed and he said "Oh no! You're going to cry again about your Mom!" It was so cute and he managed to make me laugh. He is such a sweetheart and I know you'd just eat him up. You'd eat them all up! Kinzie is getting so big so fast. She's such a sweet little baby and we are so very in love with her. She's so happy, unless she's hungry! :) She's about to roll over any day now and she's trying so hard. So determined. Just like her Grandma! I can't wait to see what else she does that will remind me of you. I wish more than anything I could share all of these stories with you, I wish I could watch you with them. Dad is such a wonderful Grandpa! I love watching him with the kids. He's so cute with them and loves them so much. Since he's become "retired" he steps lighter and is on top of the world. Its SO good to see. He's become quite a regular babysitter around here and the kids love it- so do I! He helps me out so much with them and I am so grateful. He is loving all of this free time he has on his hands and so do we! You would be so proud of Sam too! He's got his own store now and he is doing so well! He's such a perfect salesman! I love to see how proud he is of himself. He's just amazing and I'm so lucky I get to call him MY brother. He never forgets to send me a picture of a beautiful sunset. Its his way of letting me know you're there smiling down on us. I know you're always there, watching over and protecting us. Please don't stop. You are our angel. I can't help but play back the roller coaster memories of your last weeks with us with each year that passes. As unfortunate as they were, I have some really great memories with you in that hospital. Some that make me laugh and some that make me cry. As each year passes without you I become a little more stronger. My heart continues to ache for you though and that will never go away. YOU continue to teach me things about life and myself even though your gone. Something you said to me will stand out or finally make sense and I am so grateful for that. I love to hear stories and talk about you to anyone that wants to. It really helps. I miss you so much. I hope I've made you proud. I am so thankful to share this life with Scott. He and I talk about you all the time too and he will sometimes call me Vickie, when I do or say something that you would have done. It makes me so happy. He truly is my best friend and our marriage is mirroring yours and Daddy's. Thanks so much for the wonderful example of true, unconditional love that you and Dad shared. Thank you for showing me how to be a wonderful wife and mother, I'm not perfect and I'm still learning but I am thankful that I had/have you to model myself after. I always ask myself what you would have said or done. I am so grateful for the example you were and continue to be to me. I miss you more each day and I love you very much.
Love,
Cindy

I miss you so much and need to talk to you so many times. I'm glad I have your sweet Cindy to look out for me and help me out and chat. She is such an amazing girl and the best little mom ever! And I can hardly wait for the little princess you picked out for her and Scott to get here.I bet she will be just perfect just like Kanden and Brynlee are. I sure love those kids Thanks for leaving part of you here to help us all through the hard times. Love and miss you always. Lois

Dear Grandma Vickie,
Happy Birthday, I love you! Jaxsen and Kaden are so big now. I am now on summer vacation. I will be in 2nd grade and I love to read. And I love the rocking chair you gave me. I'm in 4-H and I love it. I miss you a lot. I think about you a lot. Love Hayley
Happy Happy Birthday!
We are so glad that we were apart of your life. I miss you dearly and wish we could chat and laugh about all the crazy celebrities. I am so thankful you are up there taking care of our little baby girl. She will be here any day. You will always be in our hearts. You are very special to us and treated us like your own kids. Thank you for your endless love and kindness. It meant a lot to our little family. We love you!
Love Andrea
April 9, 2010
Dear Vickie,
Almost three years have passed, and I never did write you to thank you for your unconditional love that you gave. I was truly blessed to have known you, and I am so grateful that Hayley got to know Grandma Vicki, you are always in her heart. To this day, a tear comes to my eye when I look at the little rocking chair you gave her. It will always serve as a reminder of you, and of how much you love her.
Kaden and Jaxsen are getting so big, it is so fun to watch them run around and play, they are best friends. Brynlee is so beautiful, she has started to talk and I love to hear her say "Hi Joe", what a sweet girl she is.
I love you, and your family.
You are always in my heart,
Love, Joe

Kaden is such a nice little guy he even made me a turkey picture for my fridge. I hung it up in honor of you.I know you are just beaming from ear to ear over your grand babies. I miss you dear girl so much and have been thinking of you. I am truely thankful for you and that I have your family in my life.Keep watch over all of us.

September 20, 2009
Well my dear friend here I am again missing you so much. Where has the time gone your sweet little Kaden is a big 3 year old and Brynlee is almost a year. I've been to Washington and Seaside Oregon along the coast to see Chris it was so beautiful and it made me think of you and Judy and our childhood lives. Boy we had good times.I only wished they could have lasted forever. One good thing is you do live on in my heart forever. I think of you and your smile so much and get a sense of peace. When Cindy tells me the naughty little things Kaden does I can even hear you laugh at him and get the biggest kick out of him. I know how proud you are of Doug's and your grand babies. Doug sure is a great and fun grandpa.I'm glad your family had you for an example to live by and it shows in their love for all just like the soon to be Granny Janny said. I'm sure you had a hand it that. Keep us in your prayers especially Shelly. Love and miss you tons.
August 10, 2009
Hey Bosen's What a lot has happened in two years and yet it seems like yesterday that Vickie was here. You guys have grown and continued to prove that a families love goes on forever. I am proud of all of you and how you have handled the last 2 years. Last year I sure thought of Vickie and this year I called on all the women forces in heaven to help with our dilema and now it's coming true. I nagged Vickie to go to the top for me and put in a good word or two. She is not far away and loves and cares about everyone just as she did while she was here. You guys are great examples of her love. Janice J AKA Granny Janny
July 26, 2009

Vickie,
Well Thanksgiving turned out real specail as you know the little turkey Brynlee Jean arrived in time to complete the day. 6 pounds 7 ounces and 21 inches long with black hair like her mommy had when she was born. I know you have that big old smile on your face and are so proud. Doug called me this morning first thing to tell me and he was so proud too. What a wonderful legacy you have given us. I can't wait to go meet Brynlee. I know you had something to do with her arrival so the day would be a blessing after all and to remind us you are here in spirt with your deep love for us. Thanks your old buddy.

Grandma Vicki-
You will always be in our hearts
And always on our mind
We miss you more than yesterday
We wish we had more time
We think of you every night
Drive by you every day
Whenever we pass the cemetery
Kaden gives you a little wave
Kaden misses grandma's phone calls
That you made to him each day
To tell him "grandma loves him"
And to come over and play
I want you to know
My promises hold true
To take care of your baby girl
To love her like you do!
We know that you are happy now
free from all your pain
Watching down on all of us
As Kaden hugs your picture in the frame
We love you and miss you soo much. Thank you for taking care of Brynlee up there. We will make sure to do our part in raising her.
Love you
Scott

Vickie,
As I write to you I can't believe a year has gone by. It has been a long year for everyone and our grief is still so fresh. The saying time heals all wounds doesn't seem to be true. I miss you tons and my heart just aches wanting to talk to you and share our day to day life. I'm glad I have your family it helps a lot. Another thing I have 51 years of wonderful memories that I will always have and treasure. I love to share them with the kids.
Hey grandma what a blessing we all get to share in November (Brynlee Jean) what a great middle name huh? I bet she will have that famous smile too. I can hear you giggle over Kaden what he does and says. He sure is cute.He will make a darling big brother. I know you are so proud and should be.
I need you to keep looking after all of us. Sam, Doug, Cindy ,Scott Kaden, Brynlee and me too. we all need you and love and miss you very much.

It's been a year since any of us have seen your face in person, yet it has been fresh in our minds ever since you moved on. I still stand amazed by you, Vickie! I don't think I've ever known anyone to leave such a remarkable impression on the lives of all who knew them... I talk to Cindy constantly, & more often then not you play a part in our conversations because we just can't help but remember all the little things you loved, said, or did. Everyone just misses you so much! Cindy truly aspires to be just like you, & you know what? I think she is going to be, & thats a wonderful thing! She tells me things about Kaden that would just tickle you... & I'd love to hear you laugh at the cute things he does! Also, she tells me how much he is like his grandma Vickie! I can't wait to meet your grand daughter, as I am positive that your presence is going to shine bright in her eyes & smile!!! You have planted quite a marvelous family tree together with Doug, & I can see so clearly that your love & warmth will branch out through them for years to come!!!
love & miss you!

My dearest Vickie,
It has almost been one year since you had to leave us. They say things get better with time but that simply isn’t true. I guess maybe we all get better at hiding our grief and emotions but that’s about all that changes with time. I miss you more today than yesterday and I am sure tomorrow will be no different. You are still such a big part of my life and are constantly on my mind, I love you more than ever.
Yesterday was the Fourth of July. It was the first holiday since you left that we didn’t have a big party at our house for everyone. We did have a small dinner Kaden, Cindy and Scott came over for ribs. Spencer was here as well. Then they all along with Sam went to the baseball game and fireworks. Everyone had a good time and I got to go to bed early so it all worked out fine.
We are staying very close as a family. This really helps get us through the peaks and valleys as we continue forward. We talk about old times, the future and of course of you and your influence, love and devotion you showed us all. I still worry a lot about Cindy and Sam, probably more about Sam as he is alone more. Please help me take care of them. I know they feel the same grief and miss you just as much as I do.
Kaden is my pride and joy and keeps us all together and looking forward with his affection and antics, I am sure you are as proud of him as I am. I am excited and nervous anticipating our second grandchild, I worry that I will be able to share my affection and love between the two of them adequately. I am sure she will be as perfect in every way as Kaden and I will overcome my worries the first time she is in my arms.
I will always regret that we didn’t talk more and get to experience more together, especially seeing our grandchildren grow and discover life. It has been as close to a miracle as I will ever see watching Kaden develop and grow I enjoy every moment of it. He seems to change with everyday and I wish you where here to share this great experience. It is a very different and humbling experience than from raising our own children and I puzzle over the difference.
I will always have and cherish the memories of the time we did spend together. I find myself reminiscing more and more of those goods times while listing to oldies music and remembering you and your beautiful smile and infectious laugh. We did have a great life together it just ended much too soon.
Love you.
Doug

Dear Vickie,
Today it has been one year since we shared our last lunch together for your 57th Birthday. I'm so glad we had that time together and I will always remember and treasure it. Words just can't explain how much I miss you. My heart sure is heavy today as I think of you. We sure had some wonderful times in our 51 years as best friends. Thanks girl for the memories. I still can hear you laugh and see that big grin. Keep watching out for all of us here. Love you forever and Happy Birthday in a few more days.

Well girl where has the time gone, here it is March already. It is still so hard to understand your passing and I miss you so much. So many things have gone on since. Your darling Kaden is so cute and smart. Cindy is such a good little mom and I'm so glad I have her in my life. She has so many loving ways like you.We talk and share our ups and downs when we need you. I was telling her that I still miss your calls very bad. Even though you aren't here in body you sure are in our hearts and minds. I know you are watching out for all of us. Once again I want to tell you I'm so proud you were my life long friend. I love and miss you.

Mom,
Oh how I miss you right now... This was your holiday. It's just not the same without you, although nothing is. I wish so badly to take you out shopping for Christmas. You never seemed to mind the madness of the Holiday rush no matter how crazy it was or how long we had to wait in each line. I wish we could go to lunch or I could take you to get your favorite holiday flavored coffee or an egg nog shake... by the way I tried one the other day and I don't know how you could drink one of those! way too thick for me! I miss our conversations the most, I loved how we could talk about everything and nothing for hours. Weather it was talking on the phone three or four times a day or if it was face to face. I miss your words of encouragement, you updating me on the latest news, wne you'd talk to Kaden, I can still hear you say "Kaaaaden, Grandma loves you!" I've adopted your famous "wake up, wake up, wake up!" ritual that I hated growing up. Kaden wakes up smiling and laughing when I do that! I'm sorry you didn't get the same response!
Kaden is growing up so fast and he's so darling. He's going to be so much fun on Christmas morning, we're all really excited for that. I know you're watching him grow but I wish I could share in that with you. I show him your picture all the time and still listen to your voice in messages you left on our phone. I don't think I'll ever be able to erase them. There isn't a minute of the day that goes by that I don't think of you. I love hearing stories about you when you were younger from Dad and Lois. It's fun to relive the stories that we shared with you as well. I think that really keeps me going. I can still see your beautiful smile and still hear you contagious laugh. I strive each and every day to be more like you. How you loved life and how you loved all of us with all of your heart. I'm sorry I didn't tell you more how much you meant to me and how amazing you were. You truly are my hero and I can't thank you enough for teaching me what is most important in life. For being such an amazing woman, wife, mother and friend. I only pray that I can be just as wonderful to Scott and Kaden as you were to Daddy, Sam and I, to Scott and Kaden and everyone else you adopted along the way. My heart aches for you but I know you're with us all the time and I hope I continue to make you proud. I love and miss you very much!
Merry Christmas mama!

Hi Vic,
Here I am again to say hi and I sure miss you, my week is always empty without your calls and our lunch together. It was good to see the family for Sam's 36th birthday party and I felt you were there laughing and having a good visit. I'm doing my best to keep in touch with Cindy ,Sam and Doug. I know you are watching out for us and looking down in pride how sweet Kaden is. Love and miss you so much my dear friend.

When the phone rings I still think you will be on the other end telling me what's going on in the world. I'm so glad we were such good friends I'll always keep you in my heart and mind. I'm glad I still have your sweet Cindy, Sam, Doug Scott and baby Kaden to keep me going . Love and miss you your lifelong buddy

Dear Bosen Family,
It is hard to put in words how I feel for all of you. Vickie was special to all of us and how she loved the little kids so much was special it well always be a memiory how she recorded movies for them, we will keep them forever. We all miss her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We love you all.

My dearest Vickie, words cannot express the emptiness your untimely departure has brought about. I thought we would have many more years together to share in the joy of watching our kids and grandchildren grow and prosper. I’ll continue to watch over them as I promised.
I always knew that I loved you very much but it is only now that it is too late to express my feelings that I realize just how truly deep my love for you is. You became a part of my everyday existence. You stood by me in good times and bad, never wavering in you support. Sam and Cindy inherited many of you fine traits that will help us carry on as the family you loved so much. I regret not being there more for you than I was. The time we spent together in the hospital just talking was so very special I only wish I had taken more time in the past to just talk.
There isn’t a moment of the day I don’t miss you. I miss you in the morning when I leave for work, you never failed to tell me to have a good day. I miss you at lunch time, you always made sure I had something special to eat even when it became physically difficult for you to prepare a lunch. I miss you every evening when I return home as you never failed to ask about how my day had been. I especially find it difficult to be in the house alone, without you it seems so empty. You made it a home in which everyone was welcomed and they felt comfortable being in. I promise to keep that tradition alive going forward.
Thank you for your many years of love and devotion. The many cherished memories of our time together will somehow help ease the pain over time but you will always be my one and only girlfriend. Please look after us all.
Love
Doug

Lois, I just want to say once more what a special friend you were/are to Vickie and her family. The dedication throughout all the years, never missing much more than a day or two of talking, laughing, loving, and visiting her. No one could ask for a better friend than you. They need to put a new definition out for freindship when it comes to you two. Know that I am thinking of you and caring about the pain you feel having to let her go. Janice J

Dear Doug, Sam, Cindy, Scott, and little Kayden, You guys are a truly amazing faimily. Your love, gentle care and total dedication to Vickie throughout many years of dealing with her MS are a testimony of true and unconditional love. The love of your family was so strong during her stay at the hospital, it filled every corner of the room. Vickie can still share special times in your lives, she isn't that far away. Know that Aunt Jan loves you all and am aware of the pain in your hearts. It is a sure sign of the love and how big it was for her. I am sorry you have to go through it at this time. She was much to young to have to leave you.

Even though I did not know your mother. I have heard from Steven how wonderful she was. I know that this must be true, because of the wonderful and loving daughter that she has raised. I still remember the time that Steven bought you to our home and how much I liked you. And even though I am no longer a member of the Steggell family, you have always made me feel like I was. I want to thank you for that. You and your family are in our prayers and we send you our love.

I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved wife, mother and friend. I hope that you can all find some comfort and peace, in this difficult time. I want you to know Aunt Vickie will always hold a special place in ny heart. She was one tough lady whom was fighting very hard to still be here with all of you, I want you to know how much I admired her and the lesson she has taught me about never giving up no matter what hurdles get in your way. She had a heart of gold and would do any thing in the world for you if you need her to. Doug, you were the love of her life, you shared many special times together, you were always there for her, and she loved you very much. Sam, your mom loved you so much and she was always very proud of you. Cindy, your mom also loved you very much and was very proud of you, and oh how proud, and very thrilled she was to first become a mother in law to Scott and then a Grandma to your beautiful little boy Kaden. To be a Grandma is something that she wanted to be very badly.. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

I was so sorry to hear about Vickie's passing. She and Debbie were a part of our family in their younger years. Though I did not see her very much as we both grew up, she is still in my happy childhood memories. You were a very important part of her life I am so sure and her grandson held that special place in her heart that grandchildren have.

Dear Doug and Sam,
I was so sorry to hear the news of Vickie's passing. Vickie was my little cousin (our mothers were sisters, (Shirley Keil Tripp). I carry memories of a small, blonde-haired, big blue-eyed sweet little girl that I used to baby-sit. We shared many family times and holiday gatherings. Although as we both grew up and became involved in our own individual lives, I would see her only occasionally. At those times I saw that she had a kind and good husband to love and a special little boy named Sam that she loved.
She will always be in my memories.

I don’t even know where to start! I have been so blessed to be your friend and sister. What a fun time we have had. I look up to you in so many ways and now even more. You have been such strength to me. In all the tears we have shared I have seen what a strong courageous person you are. We are going to miss Grandma Bickie more than ever and I hope we never stop talking about her, and all the memories we share. I love that we spent so many joyous occasions with her and Dad & Sam. I know there is a much bigger plan waiting for us all and mom just went a little earlier than we wanted. I know she is sharing her smile and laughter. Oh how I wait for the day for us to see her again. I can’t wait to give her a big hug and thank her for all that she did for me and so many.
Families are forever and we just have to stick together to get through the good and the bad. I love you so much and I am so proud of you! I know Heavenly Father is close by and he will be there for us to get through this difficult time, don’t ever forget to pray. You are following in moms footsteps. You are so caring and loving and go out of your way for others just like her. I love to be around you, you are AMAZING! Thank you for your example. Lots of lovies!

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no recored of wrongs, love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres."(1 Cor.13:4-7) "MOM" YOU WERE A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF LOVE! The 15 years that I was blessed with your love will be in my heart forever! Your strength & courage could move mountains! Thank you for gracing this world with your beautiful smile for 57 years, now the Angels in heaven get to enjoy it as much as the rest of us did!

I grew up with Vickie as I lived down the street from her. She had a wonderful sense of humor, was always concerned about everyone else, and had that lovely smile. After I moved away, I did get to see her occasionally as Vickie, Lois and I would do lunch. Vickie will be missed but know that she is at peace.

Dear Bosen family,
Vickie is my cousin on the Sessions side. I have learned one important lesson from Vickie, and that is not to put off keeping in touch with family members until it is too late. I talked with Vickie a few years ago. She invited me to her home to visit her, but I never went, and now I am so sorry. We had some good times when we were younger, the four of us, Vickie, Debbie, Sheri, my sister, and I. I will remember those, and the smile that Vickie always had.

I want you to know how grateful I am to have had the wonderful and amazing chance to know your mom. In so many ways she was like a second mom to me, just by her example I learned to never give up know matter what life may throw at you. She had such an amazing strenght about her, that just being around her you somehow were strengthened yourself. I will never forget her smile it would light up any room and make any ones day a light happier.
Cindy I am so grateful for are firendship and the bond that we share. Over the last couple of weeks the strength that you have had has been such an example to me. At this time believe in yourself and know that you are such a strong person and that you will get through this, and know that I am standing behind you ready to lift you up. At this time may our Heavenly Father bring you peace and comfort. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I Love You!
