To all of Vicky's family and friends. You are all in our prayers/ I remember growing up with Hank, Vicky, and Wendy in the olf neighborhood at 51st lydia. Then, after i gor out of college, I was so excited to buy my first home, right next door to this wonderful, caring family. We had alot of good times. I remember attending one of John,s birthday parties, at Fun House Pizza in Raytown, She had a great smile, and lovely blonde hair. She is now at peace; no more pain. On behalf of all the rByler families, we want to extend sincere sympathy to all of you. God Bless.Rita Byler-May

My sympathies to you all....Wendy, Hank, Michael & John Paul. Whenever I remember Vicky I think of the time that mom & us girls came to Kansas City for Hank's graduation. Vicky always wanted to brush my hair and we ate wheat germ and honey. I will miss her. May God Bless her and our families. I will see you all on Friday.

My prayers to you all. To lose someone so young makes no sense to us, but we can take comfort, I hope, in knowing that Vicki is safe and happy and watching ever vigilant over her favorite people - her boys. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. God Bless!

Dearest Vicki, While I didn't know you very long or very well, the times we did share I will always remember, particularly our "attempts" at fishing w/Hank.
My sincerest condolences to your family, particularly your sons. I remember them when they were very young.

To my dear, dear Michael ... words cannot express the sorrow I feel at this incredibly difficult time for you. After visiting with you, I have often told Mark that you are so much like your Mom, kind, peaceful and generous of your love. I try to focus on the fact that Grandma Goldie will take care of your Mom ... and she will never feel pain again. May your fond memories sustain you in this time, Michael ... you know we love you. And everything you do, everything you accomplish, do it with her in mind and in your heart, always. Please do not hesitate to call upon myself, Mark or the kids with anything you need ... or just to get away.

To Wendy, Hank and John ... so sorry for the loss.

Mark and I will always remember the beautiful smiling girl we spent time with when we were all so young. Vicki was the little sister that Mark never had. So many trips to Smithville Lake, Kernoodles swimming hole, BBQing and just plain hanging out around the house like we did so often. Vicki was one of the most kind, peaceful people I have ever met ... and generous to a fault. She literally was the person who would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it. Her smile could light up a room ... and it often did even though I do not think she ever realized it ... she was humble.

The kids talk of fond memories of the couple times they spend with her at the lake ... she was a fun girl.

I pray your faith and beautiful memories will carry all of you through this most difficult time.
