My dear Vicky,
Time is so fleeting - I can hardly imagine that four years could have gone by so quickly. Our time together was so precious, but I know we never took each other for granted, savoring our time together. I believe you are looking down on us - and you must be thrilled with all that is happening: Lauren is engaged to a wonderful young man; Allison makes us so proud with her beautiful house and amazing ability to keep middle-schoolers in line. And her voice in choir is nothing short of angelic. Finally, I have met a loving, sweet woman who makes me so happy - and Lauren and Allison are very fond of her as well. We still pray for you, as I know you pray and intercede for us. As always, have a beautiful day in Heaven and call me 25 times.
Your love forever,
Sean

Vicky, You have been on my brain lately!! The phone company went on strike about 3 months ago!! Some things never change!! Miss you a lot!

My dearest Vicky,
Another Christmas season is almost upon us, and the days, months, and years pile up so quickly now. But none of them ever pass without thoughts of you, dear. We all just returned from Buffalo, having celebrated the life of Mr. Nosky. So many memories of us together.
Know that I will always love you, and cherish our time on this earth.

Happy Birthday, Vicky!!! We had a great 4th of July - they still make a big deal of your birthday, and we saw a great fireworks display from Alli's new house. Really lots of fun with Marcie and John, Tom and Mary Soldan, and Stephanie, Jack, Parker, and little Olivia. We remembered you well all weekend and had some great times reminding us all of the great bashes we used to throw every year.
BTW, Brad Reavis asked you to say Hi to Nema for him! I really got a kick out of that! And say Hi to George while you're at it.
Once again, have a beautiful day in Heaven and call me 25 times as usual. Love you always and forever.

Wow, it's now been 40 years since the night we met! What better way to remember than a family vacation in San Juan? The girls and I had an incredible time, we had a wonderful visit with Ana and Jose Gutierrez yesterday. Thought of us together all the time, not so much in sadness, but as in warm memories, and knowing your presence was in our midst.
Still, I miss you constantly, and love you eternally. But I know you are where we all pray to be someday, and right now, I can still enjoy life every beautiful day and take it all in. In your honor, I'm trying to savor every day, love all those around me, and to live a more forgiving, kinder life until we're together again.
Have another wonderful day in Heaven, and call me 25 times! Love always, Sean

Happy Anniversary, my dearest Vicky!
Time passed so quickly, and continues to do so - this is now the 3rd anniversary that we have not been together. Wonderful weddings, Allison's new house, Lauren's school, so many things going on. I still miss you so much every single day, but I continue to pray for you and that we will be together some day. Until then, this will have to do, as there is so much life still to live, to love and be thankful for.
But I will always be most thankful for the years and life we had together, dear. Have a wonderful 38th Anniversary Day in Heaven (and call me 25 times!)
May 10, 2015
Happy Mother's Day, dear! I remember back to that stupid duck we saved from that doggie so long ago, and all of the other memories. I'm with Mom today in San Diego, and it reminds me how our lovely girls were so lucky to have such a wonderful Mother. We love you and miss you so much!
Love you always and forever, my sweetie! Sean

Hi Honey! Haven't been here in a long while, but I certainly still think of you and pray for you constantly. Allison is so excited about getting her house, and Lauren is doing great back in school again. I had to laugh, and think of you of course; I was updating insurance records on-line for Armed Forces Insurance, and they had listed as our address: 1200B Gemini Drive, Annapolis, MD. Hmmm...probably they haven't updated that file for awhile. As in, never. Oh well, another Spring without you. I remember Dublin like it was yesterday - seems like it, anyway. Time flies, 906 days now - and I still love you and miss you. But we're all doing OK. Kevin and Rita went on that 10 day Rome cruise we always talked about - really hope they had a great time. Those were truly golden years together.
Love always - your Sean

Hi Vicki, I just read Sean's new entry and took the time to look at all the pictures. I can't tell you how much I miss you. You were such a presence in our lives. We all selfishly wish you were still with us, but I guess God just couldn't wait any longer to have you with him. Marcy
December 17, 2014
Hey Sweetie, Love you bunches. 781 days and still counting. Our third Christmas without you is approaching; Lauren will be coming in tomorrow, and I definitely look forward to the time off. I am singing in St. George's Choir with Allison now: I wish had done this sooner, and certainly wish you were singing here with me. You had such a beautiful voice, I always knew where the girls got it. I'm really looking for the time off, just some down time to ponder and take everything in. I am so grateful that I was married to you for all those years, it helps ease the sorrow of missing you. We are all hanging in there, moving forward in a positive way.
I will always love you - Sean

My dear Vicky - I can't believe it's been two years! So many people tell me they still think of you every day. Of course, I pray for you every day, and I know you are always with me. We are doing Thanksgiving with Mom and Kathy this year in San Diego. It will be great to see everyone again.
Always know that I will love you forever, Vicky.

Happy Birthday Vicky! And although this message is date stamped on July 5th...it's NOT really belated...just simply sent on July 4th at 11 p.m Pacific Time:) So I found a penny earlier this week and immediately thought of you and of the great times we shared over the years at get-togethers and on trips. I'm convinced I've been finding Pennies from Heaven...and wonder if you've been sending some my way? I seem to find them in clusters, and can't help but wonder why. One day I was raking up leaves along the dead-end street next to our house and found a penny, and then another penny about 6 inches from that one, and then another 6 inches from that one...for a TOTAL of 18...each one perfectly spaced apart, all the way down the street. And that seems strange...but stranger yet is the fact that I had been working along that same area for HOURS that day pulling weeds, pruning and raking...and they weren't there! But then just as I was finishing up work and about to wheel the recycle bin back to the house...there they were!!! So when Kevin got home from work, I told him about it...and even had the pennies still in my pocket. His explanation was that someone probably had a hole in their pocket...totally discounting the fact that I KNOW with certainty that they weren't there and that I was the ONLY person out there that afternoon!!! So he and I went for an evening walk, and before heading into the house at the end of our walk, we wandered over to the area where I had found them. And laying out in the exact spot where the recycle bin had been sitting earlier in the day was a circle of 6 more pennies! Then several months later, Kevin's sister mentioned that many of their family members have been finding DIMES often...and that they must be from their mom (since she always played the Dime Slots). And the day after his sister mentioned that...HE found a dime...and he's been finding them ever since! I guess his mom sends DIMES instead of PENNIES so that they know who's sending them:) Anyway, if you're the one sending Pennies my way...THANKS for the confirmation that Heaven DOES exist:) With loving thoughts and prayers, Rita & Kevin
July 4, 2014
Happy Birthday, sweetie pie! Alli and I just visited you in Annapolis, and then stopped off at Capt. Billy's. Pretty much what we might do with you on the 4th. Remember all of our 4th of Julys together, how people would invite themselves to our house for the weekend, even though we never said we were going to be home, much less throwing a party! But they knew...and we obliged.
Nobody - NOBODY - could entertain like you. Without breaking a sweat, seemingly. Serving 50 people pork tenderloins during power blackout, still can't believe we did all we did.
And I still can't believe you're gone. Love you so much!
June 4, 2014
Hey Honey - long time since I wrote here, but I always am thinking of you and praying for you! So much going on: Rebecca's wedding (Thanks for the help - big time!), babies, graduations. Want to get back up to New Jersey, Buffalo, San Diego...so much to do. Getting driveway coated again - poor Tom Corvetti sent you a text w/estimate, I hate when I have to tell people now, they always say they are so sorry, etc. Hope you have a wonderful "Hump Day" in Heaven, and remember to call me 25 times.
Love you always and forever - Sean
April 14, 2014
Hi Dearie! Another "Survive Monday" day 534. Lauren is coming home Wed night, Allie is singing all week. Will be glad to have us together, but we will really miss you. Yesterday at the 0900 service some little 3 year old boy was so funny: he was coloring and humming and then he blurts out: "Hi God!" and cracked me up.
Will keep praying for you (and all of us). Love, Sean

We are up to 527 days now, and I have counted every one of them. Not that I'm not getting along OK: it's just what I do. Like everything else we ever did, we just work through it together, you in your world and me in mine.
And I feel - no, I TRULY KNOW - we are together in the presence of the Holy Spirit. This is not just some theory or dogma or catechism cranked out by some faux theologians. Our faith is real, Vicky. Obviously you know that, from your vantage point. But I'm telling you that like you, I also know what God's true presence feels like now, and how I can get into that zone, through the Holy Eucharist. Not that it is easy, or that it happens every time - there are always lots of earthly distractions and preoccupations to get in the way. But yet, I have experienced it, and that is everything. It is reinforcing, it buttresses one's faith and conviction, it changes perceptions from an obsession with death to an obsession of life. Eternal life: yesterday, today, tomorrow, to the transition
beyond tomorrows - where you are now.
It is eternity that is life, and earthly things that are death.
March 13, 2014
Wow! We have passed the 500 day mark (actually 502, but who's counting?!), but it doesn't seem that long ago. Had a great visit with Peter and Jerry in NYC, went to Katz deli. Heading up to see Lauren this weekend with Matt, she's going back to school at Buffalo State and pretty excited. Also, Lauren and Alli are looking forward to being in Rebecca's wedding in Cal in May.
So don't worry about us, we're all OK. Although if you could help me find my glasses, that would be OK, too. I can just say I'm giving up seeing for Lent!!! (Actually, I just use my old ones)
I miss you every day, and pray for you all of the time. I love you so much and hope you have a wonderful day in Heaven - call me 25 times today. I will think of you all day (as usual).
February 5, 2014
Hi Sweetie!
Back from California, great weekend with everyone. We talked about you all of the time, all the good times, and great memories at Kathy's. Now it's back to the cold weather and work.
I really miss you, dear. Not an hour goes by that I don't think of you, but I pray every day that we will be together, some way or somehow. Life goes on, I must do my best for everyone, and I will. But always know that I go forward with you in my heart of hearts - forever.
I will always love you - Sean

My dearest Aunt Vicky,
I miss you and love you! I think about you all the time. Mostly I been thinking about you a lot lately. On January 9,2014 my life has changed forever. My daughter Kayleigh Nicole was born. She weighed 7lbs 3oz 20inches long. Shes so beautiful. I know you would love her. Thank you so much for blessing my parents on this beautiful baby girl! Mom didn't make it to the hospital in time to see the delivery. Everything happened so fast. As much as it hurts that your not with us, please watch over Kayleigh on her journey on this thing called life. I know how much you loved kids and you would love her to pieces. Uncle Sean said he's coming up soon to see Kayleigh. Now that since my little girl is here, watch over Clint and Brittany on their delivery on their beautiful daughter in the making! I love you soo much and miss you more and more everyday. Can you laugh for me just one more time? I would love that!
Love you always, Ryan, Lauren, and Kayleigh

Ryan's baby looks beautiful, I know how you love babies so much - we would be up there with Donna and Steven right now if you were around, but I didn't get myself moving, then figured the baby was still in the hospital, etc. So I need to call Donna and Steven (and Ryan) and get up there ASAP. I have to be in Annapolis this afternoon for our annual company get-together at John Geary's house. I remember how much fun we had there in 2009 when we stayed over, so in a way it will be kind of sad for me.
I will stop by and visit you today at the Naval Academy. And of course, tell you how much I still love you and always will.

As my first year without you comes to an end, I can honestly say I'm not exactly looking forward to another one. But that said, 2014 promises to bring beautiful new babies, weddings, and memorable family and friend gatherings that will continue to spread joy through our family. But what truly makes life worth living is knowing that you are still next to me, and that I must look after and care for all those people you love so much. My 2014 resolution is to try to do that in earnest, with passion, and in good cheer. Even if my heart is still breaking, I know I can laugh and live life to the fullest because you are not far from me. I love you, my dear Vicky. Happy New Year!

Hi Honey,
We celebrate still another holiday season together without your physical presence, but your spirit was evident and the topic of much of our conversation. Everyone had a good time. It was great to see Lauren again, she's back safely in Buffalo now. The food was fabulous, the atmosphere was festive, just like old times. Lauren will be here for Christmas, and Allie will sing during Christmas Eve service.
I still miss you, probably even more than a year ago: last year was more shock and numbness than the creeping, more profound loss and longing as the days without you pile up (now 400 and counting). The void deepens, but with prayer, family and friends, I hope that I can bear it with optimism and good cheer. I do not mourn in solitude, the entire human condition is one of suffering. In your honor and memory, I hope that I could learn from this and do a better job helping others.
I will love you for eternity, Vicky.

Hi Honey! Thanks for helping out with the Red Sox - told Matt right at the beginning of the Tampa series that we should go to Vegas because the fix was in!
Today is All Souls Day at church, so I will say extra prayers for you, although I sometimes get a wonderful, inexplicable feeling (like my Mom calls "vibes") that you're just fine where you are.
Really miss you: those who say it's better after the first year are only partially right. It's different for sure than this time last year, and I'm used to it now - but that doesn't make it a heck of a lot better. And there are still those times...but there are some great times, too, with family and friends. Plus a lot of exciting events coming up (including some blessed ones!).
I will love you always - your Sean.

Wow it's been a year since I heard Allison's voice on the other end of the phone, at that moment she is the last person that I wanted to call me. I don't remember the time that she called me, it's all a blur, my tears couldn't see the time. I so wish that I could of seen you and talked to you before you left us. Right now I can't see what I'm typing through my tears. I just keep telling myself you now feel no pain.So much has happened in a year. As you know Ryan is going to be a father. Hey I know you sent the baby girl to us, since you thought it was so funny that I had MY THREE SON'S, thank you for sending us a girl!!
Love you
Donna
October 26, 2013
My dearest Vicky,
So it was on a Saturday morning this time last year that you left this Earth, and I have thought of you and prayed for you constantly over this year: that you attain heavenly peace, eternal salvation, and everlasting life in His kingdom. I will be with you some day, but I will move forward with my life, as this is so much to live for. God bless you dear.
Love always, Sean
October 25, 2013
Vicky,
Hard to believe it's almost been a year since you passed. I'm sitting at the beach house writing this...one year ago to the day , I was in this exact spot sending you an email. You wrote back telling me your home nurse had a laugh like my Mom's. It was to be our last communication. Glad my Mom was there to take you home!!
October 4, 2013
Hey Sweetie, TGIF! I recall how last year we were at Mary Washington Hospital this weekend. Seems like it all went downhill from there...I went to see a financial planner Wednesday, finally going to get my act together. We talked about you a lot, at the end of the meeting she told me how she knew you were there with us. Not surprising, really. I know you are with me all of the time, looking out for me. I love the new CR-V, still can listen to Frank. Love the smaller car payment even more.
I'm going to see Norman at my 40th HS reunion in Dayton in a few weeks. Will be good to see him again.
I love you very much, praying for you all the time. God bless you, dear.
September 16, 2013
Dearest Vicki, Almost one year under our belts dealing with our loss. I want you to know that all the Johnsons still miss you terribly. So many exciting things going on in our lives that I know you are enjoying; I just wish with all my heart that I could enjoy them with you. As you already know from your catbird seat, John and I are going to be grandparents. I can see the enthusiasm and love you would have had for this new child and it makes me crazy that you aren't here for us to see. We'll just have to make you a part of it all by dreaming and talking about how you would react. Love Marcy
September 14, 2013
My dear Vicky,
Hard to believe that it was one year ago today that we embarked on the clinical trial at Hopkins. I remember Pat, Tricia, George and the girls came down to visit - and we were so upbeat and optimistic.
Well, it didn't work out the way we wanted - to say the least! But I am still upbeat and optimistic, but with a deeper, spiritual perspective. I now realize how closely we bonded during that time together and how we now continue to grow with each other in our different worlds connected by our faith. You have a perspective and wisdom now that passes any human understanding: I want you to know that while I still haven't got it all figured out, I pray for you constantly. And I pray that I may also grow to discern and understand His will so as to follow Him more closely, and live my life on Earth with faith, hope, and charity.
But one thing I do realize now, Vicky, and I sense this unmistakably: we are going through this process and praying for each other together. So not only will we be together again, in our absence we are united already in prayer right now.
September 3, 2013
Heading back to VA from San Diego. Had a great visit with my Mom. Miss you so much, still pray for you every day.
George had lost his phone in the car, and my Mom dialed his number and was sprawled across the back seat on the floor looking for it as it hummed. Both Mom and I swear we heard you laughing your unmistakable, inimitable laugh out loud. Nice, Vicky, real nice! Always gotta have your fun at our expense - but I gotta admit, it WAS really funny.
Have a great day in Heaven sweetie and call me 25 times - and this time don't hide the phone!!
Love - Sean
August 26, 2013
My dearest Vicky,
Wow - I can't believe it has been 10 months since we last saw each other. I still talk to you constantly, and I often feel that I am in receipt of your thoughts coming back to me.
Remember what our saying was every Monday? Survive! Well, here's to a wonderful, blessed day for you in Heaven - where I don't think they have Mondays!
August 24, 2013
Hey, Vic, keep an eye out for my brother, Tom....show him around a bit and get him a beer..he hasn't been able to drink for quite a while and I know he will be thirsty!!!!
August 7, 2013
Dear Vicky,
The painting of the downstairs looks fantastic, you would love how it looks. Alli really is doing a great job, with lots of help from her cousins. She really has great taste. Lauren will be coming into Reagan in an hour, and she'll get her chance (after we stop at Legal Seafood first).
Still miss you so much, but I am not alone in that. We all talk about you - talk to you - and I get the feeling that you do hear us. Even more so, I can sense when you are talking to me: quite often I get a thought in my head that I know didn't come from me. Plus, I seem to be getting good parking spaces now - you're even better than Mother Cabrini!
Have a wonderful day in Heaven and call me 25 times.
Love forever - Sean
August 6, 2013
Vicky,
I've been eating a lot of tomato sandwiches...it is the season!! I remember when you made one for me for the first time..I thought you were crazy!!
But a nice homegrown tomato and cheese sandwich under the broiler....nothing better!!!
Miss you,

Together in NYC 4th of July
July 20, 2013
My dear Vicky,
Checking in from Buffalo - having a nice visit with Lauren, will pick up her birthday furniture later today.
Had a nice visit Thursday with Donna and Steven in Annapolis. Stopped by to see you and say a few prayers. Say Hello to Aunt Norma for me, I have said many prayers for her over the last few days.
Now some of the not-so-pleasant one year anniversaries are coming up. But we faced them together and became as close and in love as two human beings are capable of being. Together, we achieved the ultimate human level of love and mutual devotion. Your ordeal was your own personal Cross which you carried with grace, dignity, and courage. God did not ignore our prayers: I believe you passed His test and He gave you the ultimate eternal reward through His mercy. And you have inspired me to know that some day, I can be there too, but I've got a lot of work to do to get there.
And there's nothing like staring at one's own tombstone to focus the mind on the matter at hand.
Rest in peace my dear: I will be with you again in due time, but hopefully I have lots of good living ahead of me with our wonderful family and friends. And I will love you forever.
July 10, 2013
Dearest Vicky,
Can't stop thinking of how at this time last year, we had come back from Vegas and still had no idea how sick you were. Now, a year later, I count the days - 256 days gone today. But beyond grief, my memories now include our good times as well, and I am grateful to God that He gave you to me for so long – and that you loved me so much unconditionally, in spite of my flaws. And because of His love and divine grace, we can continue to share our love through prayer and communion, and live together in our separate worlds as eternal soul mates.
I don't know if I will ever stop grieving and thinking of you every hour of every day. But I still have a wonderful life with a beautiful family and circle of friends, and it is truly a life worth living. I pray for your Heavenly peace, eternal salvation, and everlasting life in the kingdom of Heaven every day, and pray that this loss will bring out the best in me: no longer obsessed with controlling every aspect of my destiny in a material world. Instead, I now recognize the unmistakable presence of an innate, spiritual reality that exists between us as we continue our eternal life together.

Happy Birthday, My dear Vicky. My thoughts and prayers are with you constantly. Having a great time with Barb and John this 4th of July, and I will think of you all day. Have a wonderful, Heavenly birthday, honey.

Heading back from San Diego - so many memories of us there. Love you and miss you very much. Have a great day in Heaven, dear.
June 17, 2013
Had a nice Father's Day yesterday, I know you always thought you should be the one getting a present, since you did all the work to make it possible. Praying for you all the time, and try to send you my love. Hope you are receiving my prayers for you. Still going through this one day at a time, but I am getting used to it.
Love always, have a great day in Heaven. Say Hi to my Dad, and call me 25 times today.
June 10, 2013
Happy 36th Anniversary!!! Like I would ever forget that day. Up here in Boston at the Cambridge Marriott overlooking the Charles River (remember we stayed here with the girls in 2004). Also thinking about the anniversary we celebrated when we saw The Producers here. I still miss you everyday and pray for you constantly. Please look out for little Fagin - Lauren took him to the vet and they had to put the poor doggie down.
I still miss you so much, but I will get through this day (and every other) knowing how much I love you and that we will be together again some time.
Have a great anniversary - and call me 25 times.
May 13, 2013
Hi Vicky, You would be so proud of your family. They lovingly and bravely laid you to rest Friday
with such grace. We all still miss you terribly, but it is comforting to know that you are in such a beautiful and peaceful place. It is also a place where life is being lived. The boats were on the water, the birds were singing, and the roses were ready to bloom.

Hey Sweetie,
Had a CRAZY weekend: beautiful ceremony at USNA, lunch at McGarvey's. Jerry/Pete and I got a room at the old THR-RIFT Inn (now Best Western) and had a great visit. Then went directly to Hannah's graduation - we all thank you for looking out for us and keeping us on reasonably semi-good behavior. It was good to have girls here for Mother's Day - especially when Alli pointed out it was exactly 20 years since the Daffy Duck Debacle! Made mini-crabcakes, Matt finally got that bush out of the front flower bed that you wanted gone. Another item lined off your list.
Love you forever, dear. Sean
May 11, 2013
Vicky,
You would love your new waterfront property...I think you have started a trend....we are all going to join you at some point. Mary wants to be your next door neighbor , but I'm going to fight her for it!!
May 8, 2013
Vicky,
Still can't believe that I can't pick up the phone and talk to you. It might have been a day or 2 years, we always picked up where we left off. Funny thing...I was going to suggest we have your 60th birthday celebration this year, because you told me no one was to know you were a little older than the rest of us!! Sean is alot stronger than I am ....I still tear up when I think about you not being here. I am happy that you did not suffer and that Edie took you home. Hope George (that damn cat)and Ying Yang are up there with you...

Still missing you every day so much - it's part of my routine now. So while it doesn't get easier, I am used to it. I don't hear from a lot of people anymore about you, but I know why: so many people are devastated by their loss and they can't talk about it. From my perspective, you're the primary thing on my mind, and it's all I want to talk about, an obsession, actually. So here we are, and here's where I go to talk about you. Lauren and Allison are doing very well, you would be proud. Committal service at USNA is Friday, urn is beautiful, hope the ceremony can show you some semblance of the dignity you deserve...but I don't know, you're a pretty classy dame :-)
Love you forever, your Sean
April 26, 2013
6 months ago today, you and I shared our last wonderful day together, a Friday like today. Thought we were on the way up, but there was some kind of an event in the middle of the night and Saturday morning when I woke up you were gone.
Exactly 12 months ago today - one year - we were stepping off of a plane in Dublin Ireland for a wonderful five day vacation. Oblivious to what the future held for us.
I had 37 wonderful years with you, which I am so completely grateful for, and I know I will be with you in Heaven some day - so I'll get through today like I get through every day, with the love of friends and family and the grace of God.
April 10, 2013
Happy Wednesday Hump Day! Great weekend in Buffalo with Jerry, Peter, and Lauren. Peter made a great chicken parm and we all toasted you. One of those times when I could sense your presence near me, reading my thoughts and talking to me. I like when that happens. While I was gone, Alli diligently planted some flowers, which the deer promptly ate for dinner. Not much changes around here, eh?
You are constantly in my prayers, dear. This will all work itself out eventually; in the meantime we must carry on - together - by sharing the Holy Spirit in our faith in His divine mercy and grace. Love, Sean

Happy Easter! Had a nice dinner with John and Marcie. Missing you as always. Peter is going to see Jerry this weekend. Great memories - thought I would add a couple of photos from us in Buffalo.
Love always, your Sean

Wow. Five months have now passed, and I still talk to you and pray for you every day - morning, noon, and night. Easter is coming, things are really busy, but my mind is always on you. Seems like every day is a milestone of some sort to remember, but our life was like that: what gets me through it all at this point is the knowledge of how lucky I was to have you as long as I did, and the certainty that I will be with you again someday.
Yours forever, Sean.

Hey Honey,
Another "Survive Monday". Talked with Jerry this weekend, he is doing so much better. Daylight savings and BBQ season has arrived: I cooked chicken on the grill and Alli made potato salad and insalata caprese. Finally starting to knock out some stuff on your "honey-do" list - I feel good when I do that! :-)
Miss you so much, but I will see you in Heaven, I know. Just this Earth part that is so tough. Trying to go to Mass everyday and stay on the path to you...have a great day in Heaven and call me 25 times!
Love, Sean

Love always, Sean.

Hi sweetie,
Did the "shuffle up to Buffalo" yesterday for Jerry - seems like you're looking out for all of us, but that was a close one. Listened to all the Sinatra songs on the way up with you next to me (in spirit, anyway): sad sometimes, but great memories. Have a great day in Heaven and say Hi to all of our family and friends for me. And Jesus too! :-)
Love you forever,
Sean

Dearest Vicki, It was a three day weekend for John and I. We were in the car and talking about how this would be a "Vicki and Sean dinner weekend" if you were still with us. So, we called Sean to see if he and Allison would like to get together for dinner. They came over and we shared a meal. It was nice but we are all still missing your presence. Miss you.

Vicky, I'm sure you are now blissfully settled in heaven, reunited with some loved ones, and watching over the others you left behind on earth. I'm also sure that your heart is contented realizing the joy that you brought to the lives of others and how much you're loved and adored. You live on in our precious photos and memories, and reminiscing the times spent together bring smiles to our faces. Sean visited us recently and proudly showed us his “favorite” picture of you in front of Trevi Fountain, which is locked in his cellphone so that it's with him always. We talked of all the trips you took over the years and he expressed how happy he was that, together, you had the opportunity to see places and things that many people only ever dream of. I thought back to some of those trips that we shared together…exploring palaces, castles and cathedrals; touring famous museums & art galleries; riverboat cruises; bus & train trips; photos in front of renowned landmarks; combing beautiful beaches; and taking in the views from gorgeous mountaintops. There were also numerous breakfast buffets; organized tour lunches; afternoon teas; social dinners; barbecues and picnics. And let's not forget the shopping:) Wow!!! We shopped in outdoor markets, quaint little town squares, huge city shopping malls...and everything in between. I especially remember the day the “NILE wives” went on a sightseeing bus trip which included a lovely luncheon, which to your delight and my dismay, highlighted “veal” as the main course. The veal dish received high praise from everyone (except for me, of course) as did the tiramisu...which was outstanding! After lunch, we were allocated several “free” hours for shopping, and we happily spent them roaming about the nearby antique shops. I'll never forget how thrilled you were to “find” the “perfect” decorative ceramic tiles to use as accents for a home project. You would have thought that somebody had handed you a million dollars:) Ahhh, such a wonderful day that was…Thank You Vicky for the wonderful memories!

Dear Sean,
It was great to have you visit. Although Vicky wasn't with you in the present, she was definitely with us. She would have loved the pizzas and all the crazy discussions that were going on. I know that Hank would have been in her lap with Jake battling for her attention. I miss her as I know you do everyday. I am here for you and the girls.
Love, Kat

Sean, Lauren and Allison,
It has been so many years since we have had the pleasure of seeing you and your beloved wife/mother. She was such a great person and I loved being her office mate and watching the girls come and visit her when they were interns and how she would fix them lunch and give them guidance. Again, I am so sorry for your loss and she will always be in our thoughts and prayers.
January 28, 2013
I know that I shared this with you, but thought you would like it documented. On January 26, 2013, I met Vicki in my dreams. We were standing outside of Home Goods (go figure). She looked absolutely beautiful; her skin was young, flawless, and glowed with a special light. I remember asking her if it was okay to continue our deck barbeques. I don't remember her answer, but I know she gave me a big smile before walking away.

There are too many memories and too many good times to recount here. I'm the oldest of 5, but Vicky was a "big sister", always with advice and an encouraging word.. As I told Sean, my one lasting memory is she let me cry on her shoulder when she should have been celebrating one of the highlights of Sean's life.
I can only hope to match Vickys "comfort food" whenever we get together.

My dear Vicky,
It has now been three months since God called you home - and in that time, I have come to a deeper understanding of our faith and how truly blessed we were to have had such a life together. I still miss you so much every day. But I also know - without a trace of doubt - there could be no more greater evidence, no more compelling affirmation, of the existence of a loving God than one who would make you the love of my life for 37 years, and through the sacrifice of His Son, will someday allow us eternal life together. Rest in peace, my dear.

Still praying for you every day, Vicky. I miss you very much, but I know I will be with you again someday in Heaven. We'll keep talking, and it'll all work itself out, I know. Just wish it were at little easier to do at times.

I continue to pray for you and think of you all day, every day. The true message of Christmas - the birth of our Savior and through His grace, the Good News that we will again be together someday - fills me with hope, and makes my grief tolerable. After all, a Blue Christmas is still Christmas!
Merry Christmas, dear. Love always, Sean

I'm truly loss for words to express how I feel about the loss of my friend. Vicky and I worked together at Alion, she continued to support me when I went to work for NAVSEA 21. We gossiped, laughed and sometimes shed tears together. I will always remember her warm caring heart and that laugh that could be head all around the building. My thoughts and prayers are with you doing this difficult time.
