Dear Craig, Craig Jr. and the Rodriguez family.
I was so saddened to hear the news of Victoria's passing.
I truely enjoyed working with her on the different Cathedral School committees. She was so generous with her time, support, love for people and her endless dedication to Cathedral School. She just loved life and she was so kind to everyone. Victoria was a true Gem!
Her sense of humor always made me laugh!
We all loved her dearly.

Victoria was a beautiful person and a leader. Everything she touched she turned to gold. She gave of herself and gently expected others to follow. She was kind to all and was so proud of her son and all that he has accomplished. The word spread quickly in the Cathedral School community of Victoria's passing and I am very saddened by this news.You are all in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless

Dear Craig - dad and son - Ewan and I were so saddened to hear about Victoria's death. During the nine years at the Cathedral School, she made the top of Ewan's favorite Mom list. She was tops for me too. Whether working on school projects or shuttling boys to cross country, Victoria's smiling happiness was always bubbling over, even when she was grumbling. I appreciated her fine sense of humor and her spontaneous outpouring of affection for those around her. She was well loved.

Dear Craig, Craig Jr. and the Rodriguez family - I am so very saddened to hear of Victoria's passing. I worked closely with her for many years as a fellow parent at the Cathedral School in San Francisco. She was one of the kindest, most energetic, and positive people I have ever known. She was also a wonderful leader: she worked tirelessly, and inspired everyone with her easy charm and her friendly, open manner. With all her dedication and commitment, Victoria made a huge difference to every project or committee that she worked on and she left a big legacy to the school. Thank you, Craig Sr. for supporting her in all of her work for the Cathedral community.

When Craig Jr. left Cathedral, Victoria and I were in touch and we shared the progress of our boys in high school. I, as well as all of her friends, were thrilled to hear of Craig's wonderful successes at The Bay School and we were so happy to hear about all the wonderful choices he had for college. Craig Jr, please know how much your Mom was loved and respected and how lovingly and proudly she spoke of you. I wish you all the happiness and success that is possible in your future life and career.
With love,

Dear Rodriguez Family,

I was deeply saddened by the news of Vicki's passing. We were both Agents in San Francisco but I hadn't seen her for awhile. I'll always remember Vicki as sweet and funny. She was kind and generous and one of my favorite people at CID. I'll miss her. Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss.

Carie and I offer our deepest sympathy to Craig, Craig Jr. and to Lupe Rodriguez and her family for Vicki’s passing. I knew Vicky well.
One of Vicky’s first jobs when she started work with CID was as Tax Fraud Aide where she was assigned to assist Assistant US Attorney Henry Wykowski and me in trial preparation. We became friends and later I met Craig as well. She was an enthusiastic Special Agent. As many know Vicky struggled with her weight but the thing I remember best was how pleased she was, as we all were for her, after dieting and jogging and completing the Bay to Breakers race along with Tom Lavin,Steve Pasholk, and me (maybe I missed somebody).
I know Vicky will be missed by all.

I was so very saddened to hear of Vicky's passing. I am certain her dad, Lupe was there to greet her with a big hug. Vicky was such a cute little sister to my good friends Rachel and Gloria and I remember well her giggle and trying to dance with us in the front hall of the house. We are blessed to have the wonderful memories of Vicky and her beautiful family. God bless, Helen Jean

I did not know Vicky particularly well. She was a collegue of my husband and of a mutual friend. But I remember that whenever she and I spoke, we were always laughing. Vicky was there at our wedding, later when my husband retired. Her beaming face in the pictures from those important moments are how I will always remember her - adding to the joy around her.

For all my family,
I can't believe she is gone. She was such a pillar of strength to me while growing up. She was always there for me. We experienced alot together. I will always have good memories of our high school days. I hope to be with you again in heaven. May your memory be eternal.
