Vicki McCanse Holt

Thinking of Vicki today. She was one of my favorite patients. We were adding touches to the Christmas tree and my daughter pointed out a beautiful Angel ornament. It was the angel Vicki gave me. I still have it. I still remember our talks. I remember the love you had for your family. I can't even imagine how beautiful a heavenly Christmas is. Until we cross paths again.

I was touched by the many expressions of love and friendship at the memorial service in Houston. I was happy to be included. Vicki is a perfect example of an ordinary person with an extraordinary purpose in life.She touched the lives of many in a lasting way.Some people strive for success, some importance but few achieve significance ,and with that level of accomplishment comes the peace of God that means your life was worth living.That was Vicki!

Thank you for such a touching tribute to Vicki during her memorial service. I cannot begin to understand how much you have lost as a family and I know that all that we have lost as friends pales in comparison. Vicki was an amazing person and she truly brought love to everyone's life. She will be missed by many. I hope that God gives you comfort and strength in the days ahead as you learn to live without her presence daily in your lives.

Barry, Tory, and Scotty,
It was with the deepest sadness that I received the news of Vicki's passing into her heavenly home. I rejoice though because she is again smiling hugely now, as she has met and been embraced by Christ, whom she loved so dearly! I anticipate the blessing of seeing her again! Vicki blessed my time as a nurse at TCI and I TREASURE the scarf she hand-knitted for me as well as the red bell w/green ribbon she brought to each of us in Dec. '04. OH, what a joy she was on...

I've just read the entire guest book thus far...and it is abundantly clear that Vicki was (and still is, I know) a sunbeam to anyone her rays touched. I knew her at The University of Texas at Austin and I promise you her network of friends there shares the sense of loss her Kansas family (immediate and extended) feels. Thank you for making certain we knew of this. Particularly after a health battle, one can't help but be grateful a darling like Vicki isn't suffering anymore...that she...

Barry, Vicki was a big part of our lives for many years. We know the joy she brought into our family and so can imagine with clarity the immense joy she was to you. Our thoughts are with you and your children at this time.

Barry,
You and your children are in my prayers.

Barry and family,
Jim and I send our deepest sympathy. We want you all to know you are in our thoughts, our prayers and in our hearts.

Barry,

I have been thinking of Vickie a lot, and my memories of you two together. In every picture in my head she is smiling or laughing. I could tell you made each other very happy. I am so sorry for your loss.

Kim and my thoughts are with you, Tory, and Scotty Mack. Please call if you need anything.
