Victoria Avink Purgiel

Patrick, all of the family, friends and those that were blessed to share life with Vicki this is a sad and unfair passing of a great person. I came to know her as a member of my ski team Spectacular! She brought energy and light with her weekly. Her night out she cherished and it was important to her. I'm greatful for the time we spent in the "Bowling League on Skies". She will be a missing link to her family and friends. She gave tirelessly to her children that are products of a mothers love...

Patrick and Family - please know how much I enjoyed working with Vickie over the past year. She will not be forgotten. The last time I saw her she asked me for a hug; I felt honored and happy to oblige. Such strength she displayed, over and over.

Patrick- Please accept my deepest sympathy at such a difficult time. I'm sure she survived this long due to your deep love and caring actions. You will find peace and joy in your memories and when you talk to her from your heart and soul....

My thoughts and prayers are with your family during this hard time . I knew Vicki from high school, She was a very kind person to everyone. She will be missed by many . Hugs <3

Pat and family; just slightly more than a year ago we witnessed a dance in your driveway with a full piece orchestra behind you. How often does THAT happen?! God was smiling on you then as He is now. Vicki was a beacon of hope and strength. During our last few visits with her it was SO obvious the love and support Pat and the rest of the family gave her. Heaven's gain is our loss and we will miss her greatly. God's grace and peace to you all. Vicki - See you at home.
