Victoria was my student at CSU Fresno. She was bright, inquisitive and always willing and wanting to engage in thinking about the big issues of our time. A wonderful spirit.

I can't believe you're gone. Everyone is so heartbroken and misses you alot. This feels so unreal and like a major nightmare. I check your Facebook to see maybe this is not real. Maybe it was wrong information. You had alot going for you and exciting events about to happen. I remember when I was pregnant with Raylan all you could talk about was having a sweet, little one of your own. This is heartbreaking. I don't know how to handle this. We use to be so close and we drifted apart and now I wish I would of talked to you more. As much as this kills me. I know you and baby Mae are in a better place without pain. I know you're holding her and enjoying the baby girl. We all miss you and love you.

We barely met last August and you made a big impact ❤ you were there when I needed you. Your bright loving smile will forever live on. I remember every time I seen you at work we would talk about the baby. You were so excited you had that prego glow. From the mixed emotions of being scared as a first time parent to being so excited showing me new crafts for the baby's room. I'm still in disbelief that your gone so young so beautiful and 2 precious angels heaven has gained Prayers and my deepest condolences to your family your fiance and your friends. Love & Respect

Cousins are the second best friends you'll meet aside from siblings. Growing up with you was some of the greatest times of my life, camping and four wheeling together will have to be some of the other times I will always cherish. I remember staying at your mom's house with you and Electra, when I'd walk into your room to talk to you and think, man.. this is what I like. I wanted to be just like you. Now look at me, we have alot of similar interests. I looked up to you and I wish we could be had more time together. Our time was short but my memories with you will live on forever. I love you.. ♡

Victoria I will never forget wearing out 3 Lion King VHS tapes with you . We watched it every Chace we got. Spent alot of time with you as you were growing up and I couldn't be more happier of the person you grew up to be. Loved all the times we camped and went 4 wheeling together . You will always be in my heart as the most sweetest most giving person ( with no filter ) I know. Until we see each other again. Love you always and forever....

I have known you sense birth, watched you grow up. Danced with you at the Elvis Car show a couple of times.. even had the privilege of you falling asleep on me on Nana's and papa's couch when you were 6 or 7. I remember looking at your dad and saying, "this is what it's all about?" He said, "yes now be quiet so you don't wake her", LOL. You were so precious with your wide smile and long blonde hair and giggles. I watched you from afar it seems. Grow up and become a young lady. I got to catch up with you for a little bit, you told me about school and your job. It was nice to see you and have that opportunity to catch up with you. When you left you hugged me good bye. You were always so warm and welcoming and sweet and funny. A light that was taken way to soon. I'm so so sorry Lynn and Jim for your loss, and Grief that I can't even imagine.

Grandma Rosie

February 2, 2017

Victoria, my dearest granddaughter I miss you so much and my great-granddaughter. Remember when I called you and invited you to lunch... I bet that surprised the heck out of you. I wish we would have had more of those times. Until we see each other again. Love you both.

It's perfect outside its like god let me dial up the weather
Got the whole crew here, I ain't seen some of them in forever
It's one of those never forget it, better stop and take it in kinda scenes
Everything's just right yeah except for one thing

You should be here, standing with your arm around me here
Cutting up, cracking a cold beer
Saying cheers, hey y'all it's sure been a good year
It's one of those moments, that's got your name written all over it
And you know that if I had just one wish it'd
Be that you didn't have to miss this
You should be here

You'd be taking way too many pictures on your phone
Showing them off to everybody that you know back home
And even some you don't yeah
They say now you're in a better place
And I would be too if I could see your face

You should be here, standing with your arm around me here
Cutting up, cracking a cold beer
Saying cheers, hey y'all it's sure been a good year
It's one of those moments, that's got your name written all over it
And you know that if I had just one wish
It'd be that you didn't have to miss this
Aw you should be here

You'd be loving this, you'd be freaking out, you'd be smiling, yeah
I know you'd be all about what's going on right here right now
God I wish somehow you could be here

Oh you should be here

Yeah this is one of those moments that's got your name written all over it
And you know that if I have just one wish it'd be that you didn't have to miss this
Aw you should be here
You should be here

Oh victoria!!! Zayden and I have been so blessed to have known you and shared times with you. I still can't believe you're gone and I'll never see your posts or talk to you again. You're heart and soul is amazing and you were already the best mommy to baby Mae as possible! Forever fly high with your babygirl! We will forever miss you both!!!

Victoria, how I loved it when you were little and used to come over and chat for hours before you were old enough to go to school, your long blonde hair shining like gold in the sun! As you grew up, everyone could see that you were beautiful inside and out. You were a very talented, kind, big-hearted, loving, wonderful person. Our world has a big hole in it now. You will always be remembered with love.

Heather McCarthy

Hey love, I had the honor of meeting you last semester at Fresno state. We became instant friends because to know you is to love you. You helped me pass that class I wouldn't have been able to do it without you. Our late nighs in that damn class were made better by our jokes. You will be missed dearly.

Lynn Dunn

February 2, 2017

I remember the day you were born, I never could have imagined how much love I would feel for you. You were such a little angel and then you hit your teen years and we had our moments. I wouldn't change any of it. I'm so glad that we got to the point of Best Friends and I didn't feel so much like the parent. Sometimes I did wonder who was parenting who, lol. I was so looking forward to my grandbaby Mae and her calling me GG. I am heartbroken, but I'm trying hard not to focus on what I've lost but of all the good times and how happy you were. I don't think I said it much, but I am very proud of you! I find some comfort knowing that we talked that day and how happy you were and you know I was with you. I miss you so much... I love you my darling daughter and baby Mae. I'll see you again and I know you'll be waiting with open arms for me.

Lynn and family so sorry for your loss.
I have fond memories of Victoria when she would come to the office with her mother, it seems like I watched her grow up. A deep sorry lies in my heart for your loss.

For those that know me well you know I have always wondered what my purpose was on this planet. I have come to believe that my purpose was my 2 daughters. They have been what has gotten me through the darkest times of my life. "They" have always been my reason... Thursday afternoon, 01.26.17, half of my reason for existing lost her life in a automobile accident. My oldest daughter Victoria and her unborn little girl became 2 of God's newest angels. I don't know what to do.. how to act.. all I can do is cry for the loss that our family is feeling. And for me, I feel a hole ripped in my heart that can never be filled again. I love you and miss you my dear Victoria... Daddy will never be the same without you.... I'll see you again and meet your sweet daughter when I get there..... You were an amazing girl and big sister that turned into an amazing woman and I am sure you would have been an amazing mother. I'll love you beyond forever...... I just don't know what to do without you.... Your sister and I miss you more than words can express..... I wish you could see all the people's lives that you touched in such positive ways... I hope you knew how much I loved you and how proud I was of you......

I Love my sister so much. She was more than a sister to me. She always did stuff for me and I'm going to miss her food. I'm really going to miss her Love so much. She was a great sister and a good friend. My sister was going to have a baby girl and I was happy for her to have one. I had a special way of writing "Sis". The way I always did it like that was the way "I" did it. She asked me if I know how to spell sis and I said yes but I still did it like I wanted to and it was (Siss).

My Dearest Victoria, I can't find the words to tell you how much we all miss you. I will miss all of our conversation and how you were always there to give me advice on how to handle your Dad... you always had the answer. I was so proud to call you my Daughter. I was so proud of how you handled your life. I know how happy you were with all you had accomplished and the life you and Kris had put together. I know that being a mom was all you had ever wanted and that you would have been an amazing mom and wife. Ill never forget being one of the first people you told you were pregnant. I was so happy for you. I will miss you coming to the Dr's office and us doing ultrasounds together so we could watch baby Mikaela grow those moments were so special. I'll miss your smile and laugh but you will never be forgotten you will live on in all that loved you. God has two more angels. My heart hurts knowing I won't see you again. I love you Victoria
