Vicki, You will be in my heart forever. I think of you so often. I feel so blessed to have worked with you. I can't imagine working on the seventh floor at Palmetto without you all of those years. You'll always be the most generous, warmest and kindest nurse I have ever known. You always had a smile for everyone. And you had the most endearing laugh/giggle I had ever heard. I can still hear it. I'll never, ever forget you. love, Barbara

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

I will miss you terribly Aunt Vicki. Your smile, quick humor and laughter will never be forgotten. I remember after your divorce how concerned you were that you would loose all of us, I reminded you that NO MATTER WHAT you would ALWAYS be my Aunt and Great Aunt to my children. You were our Aunt Vi-Vi! We will always think of you and always be reminded of you when we hear Keith's laughter and witness Brian quick wit. ( Not to mention their RED BEARDS!) They are so much a part of you. I wish you were here to see your grandbaby be born. We know she will be just like you. I find peace in knowing you were truly happy in your heart when you passed into the heavenly gates. May YOU BLESS and GUIDE all of your family and loved ones you left behind. You are a BEAUTIFUL Angel!

We love you forever~

XOXOXOXOXOX
