Vicki was a sweet and loving, dearly kind person. Myself and other friends walked dogs with her on weekends at the local park. She was loved by us all and is so terribly missed. A bright, vivacious woman, a quick wit, an easy laugh, but of all things, one of the truly joyfilled people on the face of this earth. There is a hole in our group that will never be filled-

I met Vicki on the first day that we both began our MBA Program and instantly was drawn to her. We were team-buddies on school projects together with our friend Roger. I just heard about her death on March 17th from Vicki's former co-worker. I had lunch with Vicki about a year ago and we promised to get together more often. I was very saddened when I heard the news; Vicki had left me a message at work for us to get together again...I didn't call her back. I'm sorry Vicki, I will miss you. For everyone to remember...let those people whom you care about know that you're there for them. For her family - she was warm, wonderful, and fun to be with. I'm lucky to have known her.

I miss my favorite cousin terribly. I wish you were here to enjoy the holidays with us. I miss our long telephone talks. I know you loved my kids and they loved their "Aunt" Vicki. I hope you are now at peace.

I will never forget Vicki. I will always remember her sense of humor, the love of her animals and her caring spirit. She was a wonderful boss and friend and I will miss her dearly. She has gone to rest high on that mountain-She will always have a special place in my heart.

I was Vicki's teacher at Zion Lutheran Elementary School and was very saddened to hear about her death. I remember her as a happy, vivacious young girl, always with a smile on her face and with a strong faith in her Lord. My deepest sympathy to the rest of her family. You are in my prayers.

I so enjoyed going to school and church with Vicki, and I am so sorry to hear of this. I'll always remember riding the bus with her to Zion Elementary, singing folks songs as we bumped along.

Vicki was a good friend of my sister's. I did not know her well but was always told of her incredible talent in cooking, crafts or home improvements. I do remember her outreach of people, especially children. Rest in peace, Vicki. God bless you.

Vicki was such an amazing role model and was truly like an aunt to me. I can't remember an important part of my life that she wasn't a part of...she helped me through some of life's challenges and shared in my successes. I loved her...and admire the friendship she and my mother shared.
I will continue to celebrate her life...love you Vicki...

I've lost my good friend, Vicki. She enriched my life in so many ways. We became friends in Galveston, Texas, and continued our talks over the years that followed. Vicki was so independent and faced many challenges in her life. I love you, my friend, and I'll miss you.
