I'm just hearing the sad news of Vicki's passing. Because I live in Houston, we didn't see each other often, but occasionally you would surprise me with a phone call just to say hi and to let me know that you were thinking about me. I'll miss your larger than life personality. Family was very important to you. Rest in Peace cousin Vicki.

I am sadden to hear of the passing of MS Vicki, I will always have her in my memories. As she took over for her mom as Sunday school teacher one Sunday she unknowingly started something truly wonderful for after her heading the class we started alternating as teachers and we no longer need adults heading our class again. we grasped at opportunity to be the one to go and tell the classes discoveries of the subject of the day to the adult congregation. I blame her for pointing out stepping up...
