On behalf of Andrew and Helen, I would like to say as a part of the extended family here in Las Vegas that our hearts are saddened and our thoughts, prayers and love are with the rest of our Alabama family.
From the moment that you met Vaye you soon found that you knew a unique and strong woman. Vaye was often quiet but never missed a thing and was quick to let you know what she thought of it. Loyal to her friends, loving to her family and will be missed forever.
