I just found out about Vicki's passing....Remembering her over the past 16 years.....She would have a laugh or smile.....for you.
She spoke her mind when she felt it was needed....not trying to hurt....but telling the other person what their comments or actions were doing to someone else.
She loved Stephanie and Lauren.....and gave them much to be grateful for.....lots of good memories! I am glad she will be keeping an eye on them from above!
Much love and hugs sent to the family!

Vicki was always giving to others in need, and made others feel better with kind words of encouragement. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and daughter Stephanie and Little Lauren who she loved so very much.

Vickie's kind heart will be missed by many. She always had a kind word and constantly asked me how I was doing and if she could do anything for me or if I needed anything. It didn't matter what it was, she offered her home to me food, her time and most of all her love. I am so honered to have been touched by such a person like her and I know Wayne and Family will miss her. Thank you Vickie you touched my life more than you ever knew.

Seeing Vicki at the Sunshine Welcome table with Lauren all snuggled up to her always encouraged me to risk reaching out for a hug. She and Lauren encouraged me to try new things and laugh. I will miss her as will all who knew and loved her.

I will remember Vicki as someone who served diligently and was a great multi-tasker. She was able to get so much done! Vicki would greet me with a smile and mak herself available to help me if I needed it. Murphy and her family are in my thoughts and prayers--I'm so sorry for your loss.

I knew Vicki in Brunssum Holland, where we attended AFCENT International High School together. What I remember the most about Vicki is her capacity to have fun, and her love for life. Because I was unable to attend, I missed the opportunity to visit with Vicki last summer during the reunion in San Antonio - I am sorry for that. As military brats, all to often we were forced to say good bye to someone we had come to know and care about. Time passes, we don't necessarily see one another, but that is not to say that Vicki did not come to mind, she did, bringing a smile, a fond memory, and curiosity, wondering what she was up to. I am saddened to say good bye her again. I wish Vicki's family well and I am sorry for your loss.

Vicki was such a bright light, I never doubted that she was in our lives to help us on days when we needed someone to make us smile. She always made me feel at home and always made me smile. Her life has touched so many, and because of that, will go on to touch many more. We will miss her dearly

Vicki was a sweet, precious presence around Hope Church. She was a devoted helpmeet to her husband, Murphy, as they both served so faithfully. Even when she was busy, she took the time to inquire about how things were going in your life and to share her own joys and struggles. Her love for and gratitude to God was so visible. She will be greatly missed. My prayers and sympathy go out to Murphy and the rest of Vicki's family.

I have many fond memories of Vicki from Brunssum (later AFCENT) High School. We dated most of our junior year, and it was lot of fun. We lived 50 or so miles apart, so there were a lot of weekends when Vick stayed with my family in Simpelveld or I stayed with hers in Wildenrath. I remember her family fondly. Vicki still makes me laugh when I remember some of the funny things she said and did. I'm very glad to have had the chance to see her again at a high school reunion in San Antonio last June. She hadn't changed that much in terms of still being funny and vivacious. Her family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Vicki was always such a help to me at Hope Church! Whenever I needed any kind of assistance, Vicki would jump in and help,even without my asking! She was always cheerful and friendly, even when doing chores! She was such a good example of living to give glory to God even in the smallest and largest of ways!

The last conversation I had with Vicki, she told me Joshua 1:9 - The Lord is with you wherever you go. I've never forgotten that. Vicki was genuine, good-hearted, a devoted wife and mom. Now, she is with her precious Lord in His presence. It is the day we all live for. And the Lord is with you---faithful Murphy and sweet Lauren...you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I knew Vicki through my friendship with her daughter, Stephanie and her grandaughter, Lauren and know of no greater tribute than that of a mother's love and caring of her chilren. I sincerely pray God's blessing be with her husband, her children and all family members at this time. My husband and I share in the celebration of life and the joy that Vicki brought to all who knew her.

I will greatly miss Vicki's beautiful smile and quiet voice at Hope Church. She was one of those rare people that it was ok to be silent around and still feel comfortable. Vicki accepted you as you were and I admired that quality in her. May God grant a sweet comfort to her family as they celebrate her life and her heavenly homecoming.
