Thank you Vicki, for the opportunity to pray with you. We may have not known each other long but you are an amazing lady. And because of you I learned that the “Jesus Loves Me” song has many more verses that mean so much to us. Thank you for that teaching.

Vicki, you were one of the first to believe in me when I got into this business. You always made me laugh and I will always remember and cherish our crazy conversations about the love of our dogs. We will meet again and laugh! Heaven is lucky to have you!

What a wonderful day to remember with Vicki,Laura and me. Seemed like we couldn't get enough of Victoria and Bushart Gardens. Vicki loved to travel. I am happy we took the time to see just a small portion of God's beautiful world. I remember her telling me to always wear something that "makes a statement". That, she could do without hesitation.We had good times & fun times & some sad times.The past 6 months were not an easy road for Vicki. She showed us such determination and was quite a Trouper throughout her illness.There will be fond memories of our friendship. Vicki,you will be missed but continued to be remembered.

Vicki!!!There are no words that could ever describe Vicki. When she opened the door or walked (waltzed) into a room a dynamic uplifting, statement was made that lit up the room. Smiles immediately appeared and a sense of happiness & peace surrounded all of us that just witness "Vicki is here" let it all begin. A delight to be in her presence & a gift of herself for all of us that played with, worked with, traveled with, even cried with. She will be greatly missed. June Albright
