Mickey & Stephanie and family,
I can't express to you how sorry I am for your loss. You are experiencing every parent's nightmare. Jesus tells us in John 14:18, "I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you". All you have to do is call on him. You will see your son again soon. I will keep you in my prayers in the coming days.

Tony, Angie, Mickie,and Steph my thoughts go out to you and to the rest of the family that this has affected.Vic was a wonderful son, brother, grandson, cousin, and nephew and uncle too.

Our hearts may hurt and the tears may fall but one thing for sure is that weather here on earth or up in heaven Victor will always always be with us and in our hearts.

WE LOVE YOU AND WE WILL MISS YOU ALOT BABY BOY. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE IN HEAVEN WITH OUR OTHER LOVED ONES WATCHING OVER EVERBODY THAT LOVES YOU.

There are words the mind can’t speak
And thoughts that the heart can only feel
The memory of a gentle soul
The laughter of a generous smile
Sharing a coloring book or playing ball
Holding a child’s hand and reading to them
He knew how to love and to show he cared
He knew how to speak and listen closely
He knows how to love and listen still
He knows how to care and always will
You know how to keep him living on
Listen to your heart and hear his song
A song of life and love and joy
He shares it now in His Father’s world
He learned to give and loved to live
Now he can live on forever in His Arms
Just listen...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
