Todd, Kristi, and Larry

I also remember the good times. Spending the night at your house when my parents left for Vegas. Your family was gracious enough to welcome me into your home. I remember playing hoops outside all day long. Your mom will be missed by all. God Bless you and your families.

Your Friend,

Kristi,Todd,and Larry,

I have many fun memories of growing up at your old house in Pennfield and relentlesly teasing your Moms dogs "Teddy and Suki". I dont think she had a mean bone in her body, and we are all lucky to have been apart of her life. I hope you are comforted by all the great memories you must have. Thinking of you, Angie~

Vicki was a neighbor of my mothers so I had the privilege of getting to know her very well. My dog and I would stop by and see her and Lacey quite often on our walks.

I feel very blessed that I was able to visit with Vicki last week when I was in Michigan for the holidays. I was shocked to hear she passed a few days later, but am thankful that she did not suffer. She was very aware of what was happening and seemed to have come to terms with it...which is commendable.

She was a young spirit and I know thats how she would have wanted to be remembered.

My prayers to her children and also to her close friends and wonderful neighbors, Roberta and Cindy...you are both amazing and she thought the world of you two.

Dr. Lucas office isn't the same. From the first time I meet Vicki she always remember my name now I have to give every time I come in. I saw her last winter at lakeview hardware and she told me she had just retired. My condolences to her family I know you will miss her. Jeff gonzer

I knew Vickie by working with her through
Dr. Lucas's office. She was a very loving and fun individual. It was horrible to hear of her illness. She was
a fine person and I'm glad she no longer suffers. She will stay in my memories.
