We are so sad to learn of the passing of Vickie. On behalf of the Urbiztondo Family we send our deepest condolences. Out thoughts and prayers are with her family and all those who knew and loved her. We shared many happy memories with Aleo & Vickie. We were fortunate to have shared this fun hike with them visiting the Pinnacles National Park.
