My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. As a small child I met the Vick brothers when they operated Vick Pharmacy. My parents filled our prescriptions at the pharmacy. Through the years I came to know them as kind and caring pharmacists. As an adult I continued to trade at Vick Pharmacy, until it's closing, and was always treated with kindness and compassion.
