Dear Anna and Robert, Pearl, Sue, and family,
Sorry to read about Vickie's passing. Mom saw it in the newspaper. As she read it, Hartranft/Haverstock popped off the page. She realized it was your family. It has been many years since we have seen you all.
We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. Cherish all your fond memories.
Love, Eleanore and Julie Gaumer-Hollander,
St Elmo Street, Allentown

Dear Vickie....I was very heartbroken when I learned about your passing. We've kept in touch over the years and even though I haven't actually seen you, you were always one of my life long friends whom I will never ever forget. I think back over the years of everything that we experienced together as friends. Our crazy high school days. Those memories will never be lost. Driving around in your mustang and just hanging out together all the time. You had such a good memory....you would remind me of things or people that I never would have remembered when you brought me up-to-date on things. We sure had a lot of laughs. My deepest sympathy to your daughter, mom, dad, sister and brother and extended family. They must be heartbroken. You will forever be in my heart.May you rest in peace as you continue to watch over your family with your ever-lasting love
Love,
Sue

I'm so sorry to see this obituary for Vickie. I've known her since she was in jr. high school. Vickie was a wonderful person. The last time I saw her was when she lived in Emmaus. She was in her 20s back then (weren't we all). Gauging by her photo she hadn't lost that her winning smile. She'll be missed, I'm sure. God bless her entire family.
