It is hard for me to put into words my emotions, Vicki was a good friend, we shared a bond only the members of the "Fort Rumrill" crew would understand. Other than being one of the most skilled & dedicated medics I have ever had the privilage of working with Vicki was a real friend to me.

I just heard today and was quite shocked. I was at work at Orchard Supply in SSF when I saw a girl from highschool, Josie ??, Dunne now. We were talking for quite sometime. None of us look very different than we did then, neither did Vickie. We were good friends at Alta Loma and I had gone to her house quite a few times. I forgot about how good she was at swimming. We had always been friends and I will remember her fondly. God Bless, Tracy van der Woert

Dear Repetto Family, We just heard the horrible news of Vickie's passing and want to express our heartfelt sympathies to your entire family. It has been many years since Vickie graced us with her presence but we will never forget her warm smile and great sense of humor. Our daughter, Rebecca (Saunders) and Vickie were best friends through school and paramedics together. We all went to Hawaii in 1989 together and had so much fun. We lost track of Vickie after my husband, John & I moved to Newark, Ca. Please know that our prayers go out to all of you and that she will live in our memories forever.

With my deepest sympathy to John and Joanne and the entire Repetto family. I just learned of Vickies passing and was so saddened. Vickie and I were Best Friends for over ten years, we went to high school together, EMT school together and even became paramedics together. I will always remember her smile, laugh, and spirit. We travelled to many places together (Hawaii, Utah, Arizona, Colorado and all over the U.S.) and I will hold those wonderful memories in my heart forever. Vickie saved so many lives as a paramedic and touched so many lives as seen by all the heartfelt memories people have shared on this site. I hadn't been part of her life for the past twelve years, but I always thought of her fondly. God Bless her and her family. May she find peace with our Lord in Heaven.

I worked with Vickie in Richmond in the early 90's. I thoroughly enjoyed her sense of humor and her ability as a Paramedic. It saddens me to hear of her passing. With my deepest sympathy, Jim Maddox(Maddog)

Knowing that Vickie would be at "Fort Rumrill" made me love to go to work. She was one of the finest paramedics I knew. My partner at the time and I were EMT's but she always made us feel as equals. We all cooked dinner together and were like a family. She made that dismal station feel like a home. God bless her family and all who will miss her.

Mr. and Mrs. Repetto,

It was with great sadness that I learned about the loss of Vickie. I worked with Vickie at AMR/Regional since 1988. When I met her she was doing her internship out of the same station I worked at. Vickie was one of the best paramedics I ever knew. And her sense of humor was second to none. She will be greatly missed by all she has touched in her life. My husband, Dave who is a paramedic firefighter for South San Francisco and who also had the pleasure of working with Vickie would also like to express his sympothy for your loss.

Its been a long time since we worked together Mama Repetto, but I have thought of you often, and told many stories of those days at "Fort Rumrill" with you. I hope you've found the peace you needed. I will always keep you in my thoughts and stories I tell the "FNG's" about the better days at AMR.

Vicky,

Always so caring and loving towards others you knew for years or just minutes; you made a difference to many lives... My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today and always. Whether you made someone laugh and/or listen to their problems something that may have seemed like such a small or insignificant thing in reality made them feel so special and forget about the problems they may have had. I thank God for having met you and I thank you for having such attentions with my family. I hope that you have found the eternal rest that you so rightfully deserve.

You are loved and will always be remembered, Nora
