My deepest sympathy to the Meier family and her close friends for the loss of one of the classiest women I have ever known. Vicky was my accountant for 13 years. I was referred to her at one of the lowest points of my life. Her expertise was amazing but her warmth and care is what I will miss the most. Her life was truly a celebration and inspiration.

Dear Diane, Pearl, John, and family,
What can I say about a good and true friend of 55 years. Even though we were separated by distance and circumstance in our adult life, whenever there was an opportunity to help me, Vicky never hestitated to give support. Throughout my mother's two hospitalizations in Milwaukee, Vicky opened up her home to my sister, Cindy, and myself. Vicky welcomed us as roommates and close friends. I feel very blessed to have had such a true friend. I cherish all our times together. I will miss her, but her shining spirit lives on. Love & Peace, Vicky Stanelle Zehms

As the 1-21-08 Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel stated Vicky's clients became her friends. When I moved back to Milwaukee in 1989 & needed an accountant I was referred to Vicky by mutural friends. Over the years she was supportive of me and my friends & we will miss her dearly.

I knew that she had been ill for several years & I had talked to her on the phone during tax time, but I had not seen her until I saw her last fall following Al's Run. It really lifted my heart to see her & hear that she had particiapted in the run. This will be my most lasting memory of her

To all of the Meiers, my heart is heavy for all of you.
Chris, Emily and I are saddened to know Ms Vicky is no longer here with you. I know you all worked hard for her health. I understand that she had a last visit to Sanibel and enjoyed herself with all of you. That's a good memory to hold: warm sun, warm hearts, warm sand. The sands of time keep moving through the hour glass. Before we know it, we will all be walking on the beach with her.
Much love to all,
Nancy, Chris and Emily

While distance kept us from being "closer family" over the years, I always thought of Vicky as the cousin-in-law I could really identify with. I looked forward to sharing business and life ideas whenever we were together. Her strength thru her battle with cancer was just what I would have expected after seeing her wisdom, courage, and perseverance in other challenges in life. We will all miss her.

Vicky was such a wonderful neighbor, welcoming us all as we moved into our new condos in her building. She built community among all the new neighbors. She cared intensely about the building and the neighborhood and launched a neighborhood association to make it all better. We owe her much and are deeply saddened by her loss. We will work to build on the foundation that she established.

Meier family. My deepest sympathy to your family. I am very sorry that Vicky lost her courageous battle with cancer. Vicky and I met through the developement of Prospect Avenue Association. I hope that we can continue on with her wishes regarding this organization. She will be greatly missed. Sincerely

Vicki was my mother's accountant and kept with my mother even through the years that she suffered from Alzheimers. My mother lived in Milwaukee, but only one of my siblings remained there. The rest of us had to connect from far away. I don't know how we would have straightened out my mother's affairs without Vicki's professional help and sympathetic ear. I shall always feel indebted to her. My thoughts are with her family at this time. She was special.

Dear Meier Family & Friends, Vicky lived a bright, beautiful & good life. During Vicky's time with us, she truly made a difference...her synergy & engagement changing things for the better. Certainly, she is in heaven now. Vicky will be missed as my cherished friend, neighbor, CPA, golf partner and inspiration. God bless,

For nearly 20 years Vicky was my accountant, but she was more than that. She was a friend and advisor and was a great help to me both professionally and personally. I learned much from her. She will be greatly missed.

I went to high school with Vicky, and she was one of my top "competitors" for the best grades. I remember feeling I worked so hard for my grades, while she seemed to be able to get all A's and do everything else at school, all at the same time. I lost touch over the years, but it sounds like her contributions to the community, her clients and friends, and her amazing intelligence were just as they were in high school. Such a loss to all who loved and admired her. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.

Vicky was a wonderful friend and inspiration to many. I went to Brookfield East with her and always admired her enthusiasm, leadership abilities and ready smile. She contributed a lot to her community and to many individuals. Please accept my sincere condolences. She will be missed.

Our prayers are with your entire family and your close friends as you suffer this great loss. Vicky was our financial confidant yet more so --- a friend who was always interested in the well being of our family and the happenings in our daily lives. We communicated often about life, Hartford (WI) connections and then, when necessary --- tax prep! We'll envision her with a gold Blackberry in heaven, checking in on all of us. You have our deepest sympathy. Sincerely,
