Harry, Daniel, Jody and family: We were very fortunate to have met both you and Vicky through your son Dan's marriage to my Godchild Jody Ann James. We found you both often at either McDonald's or Burger King enjoying the coffee when we lived in Colonie. While the years have passed since we moved away to Florida and last danced at your son Eddie's wedding at Disney, I want you to know how much my husband George (Pepsi Driver) and I really like Vicky and you! I am sure as time moves forward you'll laugh again, and smile when Vicky's name is mentioned. or a thought of her passes through your mind. May God bless you and your family and may you be comforted to know that others share in your loss today. Let's hope they have slot machines in heaven for us all to enjoy when we join Vicky at the Mountain top. Sincerely, George and Mary Wiley
