Ironically, I’m working in Big Spring, Texas this week and forensic files was on. I’d seen her story before, but wanted to watch it again. She was such a bright light. I was so sad at the end it said she died at only 34, after overcoming all that she did. My deepest condolences to her brave momma bear. Rip Vicky. You are deeply missed by many.

So sad to hear Vicky has passed away like some folks on here only became aware of Vicky because of the Forensic Files program and looked up to see if any further news on how she was but instead read the sad news I hope that the time you had you enjoyed after the accident and that God is looking after you whilst you look down on your family keeping them safe.

RIP, sweet Vicky. You had a heart of gold, a warrior and someone to be admired. I am so sad to hear this. I know this has been years and I hope I´m not adding grief to the family but I just happened to Google Vicky because I saw her on TV and she just really had this positive attitude and a ray of life. I also admire her mother. What an amazing, smart beautiful mother to have. I just send my prayers to the Lyons family.

I just heard your phenomenal story about a mothers love and your drive to right any wrong to her child on My Favorite Murder podcast. Being a mother of a 4-year-old boy now, I could only imagine the heart-stopping moment you saw Vicky laying there. Vicky became the phenomenal woman today all because of your love and dedication! Vicky became everything she was supposed to be because of a fantastic mom. I'm so sorry for your loss and Vicky will always be in my heart and your story will always be in my mind.
