Jerry, Jeremiah, Joshua, Jonathan, please accept our deepest sympathies on your loss. By happenstance a couple days ago, Joanne had good memories of your and our families living next to each other on West Surrey Lane. Today, I thought of your family when at work coming in contact with members of the Phoenix Fire Department. To my dismay, I heard the bad news in discussion with the members of PFD. It brings sorrow to hear such news. I have great memories of our families sharing and growing as neighbors. I occasionally think about the baby tortoises Vickie watched over as they grazed in the front yard. It seems like such a small thing, but such memories bring fondness in our relationships. Vickie was, and always will be in our memories a wonderful person always willing to help. May God bless your family in this difficult time ahead.

To the Witt Family

I want to express my deepest sympathies to all of you. Vicki was an amazing woman who touched everyone who came into her life. Her Christian values came to life in all of her involvement. I knew her as a Moon Valley parent who was always THERE! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

"Let not your heart be troubled; Ye believe in God, believe also in me, In my father's house are many mansions: If it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also." JOHN 14:1-3

Dear Jerry and Family--
I was so sorry to see that Vicki passed away. I hadn't seen her in years but had fond memories of bowling, sitting and watching our husbands play softball and attending Fire Department functions. She always had the best sense of humor and loved her family. I hope that your good memories will help in this time of loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Witt Family,

I just want to extend my condolences to all of you. I knew Mrs. Witt from Chaparral Elementary. I went to grade school from K-6. She was always so wonderful and a breath of fresh air in the front office. She is such a sweet, caring lady and I will miss her. Mrs. Witt is and will always be one of my fondest memories from Chaparral. Your entire family will be in my thoughts.
My deepest sympathies,
