We have been neighbors for the past 26 years. My have we ever experienced so much. We supported one another through the tornado and loss of our homes. Made the decision, along with others, to rebuild in the same location. The loss of Ocie hit so hard. I have always felt fortunate to have you as my next door neighbor. You will be greatly missed. Love Vickie McMullin.

It's hard to believe that you're gone. Such a beautiful life taken before her time. Although we were not related by blood her and her late husband Ocie were family. At least they are together now. Fly high and fly proud. you will be missed!!! I love you!
