I met Vicki at First Baptist Church of Ossian as she was the pianist. She was so amazingly talented with all her singing and talent playing the piano and other instruments. She just made those keys dance. As we got to know her we could see how caring she was and just an overall good person. She will be missed by many. Praying for all her family and friends. I take comfort in knowing she is no longer in pain and doesn't have to fight anymore. I believe she with Jesus and singing and playing piano with the angels.
