Here I am again. Just the other day I was smiling as I worked because Vickie came to my mind as I remembered some of our lunchtime conversations. Always hilarious, you made our work days brighter. Never forgotten.

I was one of Vickie's foster parents. She was always upbeat, caring, and warm. She will be missed by many and I'm grateful I got to know her.

I remember Vickie being funny, feisty, incredibly smart, and utterly devoted to her family. She was so proud of you both, Andrea and Dan, and she and Andy were so welcoming and tolerant of all of us teenagers who regularly invaded your house. I am so very sorry to hear of her passing. My heart goes out to all of you in the Hasenstaub family, and to everyone else who was lucky enough to be illuminated by her very bright spark.

Vickie made such a positive impression with me as I started my career in social services. She always had a smile and worked hard to make sure that the clients had the highest quality of service. Every conversation with Vicki included some highlight about her family; may the joy she shared in life be remembered always.
