I met Vickie during her work and service with Levy's in Green Hills, and was always delighted when she was the person that assisted me. Nothing but good things to say about her and the levy's extended family. She cannot be replaced.
My sympathies to the family.

I am honored to have known Vickie for many years, ever since I have been a client and friend of Levy's, and a friend of Vickie. Vickie was always gracious and wonderful to me. I have found her to be one of the most beautiful people I have every met, anywhere, in all ways. In these remaining years I have gotten to know and love Vickie even more, and that has been my privilege for sure. Vickie is to me an angel of great grace. I will never forget her, and the amazing person I have known her to always be. Blessings for all of the beautiful things that have already been said and written about Vickie, as well as those things yet to be said.

My heart is breaking today. I have lost a dear, dear friend. The thought that I will never see this warm, beautiful smile again is devastating. Even though life took us in different directions and we never had a chance to spend a lot of time together, I always knew she was there. I knew if I needed her or need to talk, she was just a phone call away. Vickie was the sweetest, warmest, most beautiful, classiest, kindest person I ever knew. I often wondered how I was lucky enough to have her as a friend. Her passing leaves a hole in my heart that I don't think will ever mend. Her family is in my thoughts and prayers. She will be missed by many, many people.

Vickie was such a special person and has touched me deeply over the years. I got to know her growing up around Levys and was always hearing how much she meant to my family and everyone she came into contact with. She had such a warm and welcoming presence, was always kind and thoughtful, and was adored by all. She will be missed. Wishing her family and friends peace during this difficult time.
