Dear Tom, Lauren, Stephanie and Family,
I was so saddened to hear about Vicky's passing. She was my friend of so many years and later my dental hygienist too. Vicky was a beautiful soul inside and out and will be deeply missed by all of us who had the honor of knowing her. She is another angel that will be waiting to greet us in a place where there is only beauty and peace. Her love for you was spoken always. You are each in my prayers during this very difficult time.

Dear family of Vicky,
I knew Vicky from the dentist office where she was employed. I always enjoyed chatting with her when I was there. I used to work with her sister Tina at ACH many years ago and she would update me on her whenever I was there. I am truly sorry for your loss! Praying for your family. She will be remembered and missed. She was a beautiful soul.

Good afternoon, Tom--I wanted to express my condolences on the transition of Vicky. I was fortunate enough to attend the Sunday service and was overwhelmed by emotion with the support of your family and friends and the outpouring of love and support. The standing room only event was very moving even though I do not speak Macedonia. I did want to let you know that I did drop off an Easter lilly by the sign-in guest book. She was truly a remarkable lady and will be missed.

Vicky will always live in our Hearts and Minds for the remainder of our days on Earth.

Shocked is how I can best describe how I feel right now. I don't even know how to begin to describe this amazing woman. The last time I saw Vicky was at a friends wedding several years ago and how beautiful she looked. Vicky was a bridesmaid in my wedding and although I didn't get to see her as often as I would have liked, I can say that the times we had together included great conversation. She was full of positive energy and had nothing but good things to say about her children and life. I wish I had another moment with her to just tell her how wonderful she was. I love you Vicky, You will truly be missed.

We lost dear relative & friend together with all of you. We are very sad, but left with beautiful memories. I learned how to make "zelnik" with Vicky together. Made a few dozens "tulumbi" until we made them right. Went to concerts, places, museums together. We will miss her a lot. Rest in peace Vicky.

We were so sadden to hear of Vicky's passing. It was fun to watch the two of you working side by side on your new venture at the Village Gardens so many years back with her wonderful baked goods, then watching your daughters grow up and get involved there too. It's one of the things we really miss about not living in the area any more.
Please know our prayers are with you and your family.

I am terribly saddened by the loss of Vicky. I had the pleasure of meeting her as her home care nurse recently. I have never met anyone so sweet, so strong and so in love with her family. I know you will miss her so much. Consider yourselves very blessed to have had her in your lives. I often thought of her after our first meeting. She left a lasting impression on me to be a better person especially in the face of adversity. May God bless all of you with strength and comfort in the difficult days ahead. ?
