Dear Bonine Family,

I met Vikki just by shopping in the sewing dept. of Wal-Mart shortly after it opened. She was so sweet, always happy, helpful, and always so proud of her family. She also always showed an interest in my then young sons and I. We would talk as though we had known each other for years and that is an example of what a wonderful personality she had.

When Wal-Mart closed the sewing department and she was a Greeter, it always cheered up my day to see her smiling face at the door and hear her positive, Christian outlook on life. I saw her the Wednesday before she passed away so unexpectedly. She proudly talked to me about her children and grandchildren, and she was so excited about her expected great-grandchild. When I came in that Monday and didn't see her, I asked about her, and found that she had passed away over the weekend. I was shocked, dismayed and felt like I had lost a very best friend.

I am so glad that she got to see and hold her new great-grandchild before she passed on to Heaven. What a blessing that is for her and you. How thrilled she must have been and is probably telling all in Heaven how wonderful that baby is. I can't imagine how hard it must be for you to be without her.

I can tell you how very much I will, and do, miss her. It is difficult for me to walk into Wal-Mart now knowing she will never be there again to greet and talk to me in her warm loving way.

May I express my deep, sincere sympathy to the family as I know how very much you will miss her. I know she loved you so much. Know that she is with the angels now and watching over you. She is at your side always; and she will be with you, watching over you and loving you forever.

May God Bless You and help you through this difficult time. May your faith console you and give you strength and bring you the joyful memories of her life here on earth with you. She would want you to be happy.

A customer and a friend,
Sara Carlisle-Ferrence

John and Family,
I was very surprised to hear of your loss of Vikki...such a nice, sweet girl. She was way too young to be taken away from you.

You're all in my prayers at this time of great grief.

Vickki, How I will miss your smile when I walk into Walmart. But how lucky are you now spending Christmas with Jesus. Christmas in Heaven. It can't get any better than that. Yes you will be deeply missed here on earth But to spend Christmas with Jesus can't get any better.

Vikki,
We love and will miss you more than words can express. You always made me feel your love and prayers. You taught me so much about faith and trust. I always knew when you prayed to God on my behalf my need would be taken care of. The time we worked together in the fitting room was my favorite times of all. Thank you for your friendship. Tom and I love you and will always keep your family in our prayers

Vikki, I will remember you very much.; as so will many others of our Co-Workers at Wal-Mart #779. You always had that Precious Smile that warmed the hearts of those around you. And you soft laugh at the funny things of life.
You are remembered. May God Bless you and I know he has already taken you under his Wing.
May God bless those you leave behind.

Your friend forever,

Vikki, our shared birthday will no longer be the same. I'll cherish my memories of our "girls together" time at the beach.
