Victoria Kozera

There are no words to express how sorry we are to hear of Victoria's passing. We met Victoria and Don on our recent trip to the Galapagos Islands. She was warm and engaging from the moment we met. Our three boys were on the trip with us and we bonded over shared stories about motherhood over meals and while traveling to the islands. She absolutely beamed with pride when sharing stories of her kids, Jacob and Rachael and just glowed when talking about her grandchildren. She regaled us all...

I had the pleasure of meeting Victoria and Don in June this year during a holiday on the Galápagos Islands. I found Victoria to be an energetic, warm, friendly and generous person. She had a spirit of adventure and a finely tuned sense of curiosity about people and the world. I would have loved to have spent more time talking with her and to hear her reflections on travel and the impact that this had had on her and Don´s lives. Regrettably our time together was tragically brief and I did...

I met Victoria on her long awaited Galapagos trip and since we were exactly the same age we definitely had a lot to say to each other especially on the flight from Quito to the Galapagos. She shared how happy she was that her daughter, son-in -law and most importantly that her two grandkids lived within an easy drive away. Another item to chat about on the flight was how fun her travels with Don, family and friends were. I send my heartfelt condolences to Don, Jacob and Rachael as Victoria...

My deepest condolences to all of you. Vicky was my kids teacher at WBMS. When my daugher got sick with AML cancer in 2005, Vicky came to visit us in Westhampton MA at home and shared in honor of Sarah she was going to hike Kilimanjaro! We were blown away! My daughter Sarah and I have spoken about her many times since then, and my daughter share her passion for hiking to this day.

Don and Jake, We cannot begin to express how saddened and shocked we am to hear this news. Only happy memories come to mind when we recall your family and having the privilege to coach Jake in soccer. Martha would often see Vickie at the BigY and talk about those days. Condolences seem insufficient but please know that we will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. Lou and Martha Pacilio

To Donald and your whole family, I met Victoria through Charlie and her visits to West Street. She was so kind and cheerful. Just to have known her a little bit made such a difference in my life. My deepest condolences to you and your family. I believe she is an Angel holding all of you in her care now. Carol Hutter

Don, I was so sorry to learn today about the passing of Victoria. Please accept my deepest condolences. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Vic was a gem who radiated kindness and love. You didn´t need to know her very well to see that she left smiles wherever she went. I feel blessed having gotten to know her and her family. My heart goes out to Don, Jacob, Rachael and families.
