I would like to express my sorrow at the passing of a dear friend and your sister, I graduated with Vicki in 1976 and she was and always will be very close to my heart. I will never forget that smile and the laughter that she spread no matter where she went. She was always smiling. She was always so kind to my parents Bill & Jewel Miller and they thought the world of her too. I will miss her greatly and until I see her again I will carry her memory and the friendship we had close to my heart. My prayers will be with all of you every day. May God grant you peace and know that you will see her again and as long as we all remember her her memory will always be with us no matter where we are.
