Although I didn't know Vicki real well, I do remeber that she was a great mom, as a matter of fact we called her romper mom because she always had a house full of kids. We used to have fun playing pictionary and cards on a friday night when we were all single moms just trying to have a little fun. My prayers and sympathy go out to the family of Vicki. Rest in peace, Vicki.

May Vicki rest in internal peace. She was a very sweet person who will be sadly missed. Our thoughts & prayers are with the Ruffalo & Crest families.
