Our family referred to Vicki as "the nice lady." That just about sums it up how we saw her, very sweet, caring, humble, and fun. Truly a nice lady that will be sorely missed. My deepest condolences to Gary and the rest of the family.

Read the sad news of Vicki's passing. We can never forget how nice the Hong fanily was to our son (Ken Wong) when he was chosen to play B-Ball in China many years ago. She sparkled with life and we all will miss her. In deepest sympathy - The Walter Wong Family - San Jose
