My sweet and dear friend Vicki and I shared approximately 15 years together working as Medical Transcriptionist at Craig House Hospital. We both started when our children...close in age..were little. We shared so many close moments every day, sharing our day to day activities at home and our fun and crazy days at Craig House..our home away from home. Those days were the happiest time of my life. Vicki's heart was loving and warm, she knew always how to make everyone feel so comfortable with her outgoing and fun personality. With a heavy heart, I pray for peace for Vicki and all Lehtonen family during this very difficult time. Love, Barb Wilks
