I was so sorry to hear the sudden news about Vickie. I saw Vickie on almost a daily occasion as my mother also lives at Majestic. Vickie was a warm, wonderful, welcoming person. Vickie took a liking to my 6 yr old daughter and often had fun conversations with us. She will surely be missed. Our sympathy goes out to the entire Hunt family. Thank you for sharing your mother with all of us, she was a wonderful person.
