In loving memory of Vickey Thompson,
A true embodiment of strength, Vickey faced the last year and a half with courage and resilience, anchored by her unwavering faith in God. A warrior in the truest sense, she now rests free from suffering, her spirit ever-present among us. Her legacy is an eternal flame, illuminating our lives even in her physical absence.
Vickey´s light shines bright, a beacon of love and kindness. She lived life with grace, humility, and an overflowing generosity that touched all who knew her. Her laughter was infectious, her presence made everyone feel uniquely important.
As her beautiful friend, I am reminded of the cherished years we spent together in the world of real estate. The memories of our tours, celebrations, and the joyous Christmas and St. Patrick´s Day parties hold a special place in my heart. Countless moments that we shared are etched in my memory, and I find solace in knowing that these experiences will forever be a part of Vickey´s lasting legacy.
As we honor her memory, let us remember the lessons she imparted - the power of faith, the beauty of kindness, and the significance of family. The void she leaves in our hearts is vast, but the love she shared continues to ripple through our lives. Rest in peace, dear Vickey, your legacy lives on in the hearts you´ve touched.
