It's been a year now Vicki Layne and I still miss you. No one to go to bingo with, I did go on your birthday last April, made it tough since Vicki the bingo manager and you not only shared the same name, but the same birthday. Love you lady, glad you are not in pain any longer. See you when it is my time!

Vicki had a heart of gold and she touched many lives with her love, friendship and help.
Family meant everything to Vicki. She loved them all dearly.
Vicki has her wings back now (real ones this time) and she is free again - no longer caged or trapped by a failing body, wheel chair or nursing home. Fly high my friend, I will miss you. Roxy
