Vickie was an extremely special person. One of my fondest memories was when I stayed the summer with Dave and Vickie when I was 13. I always called her Aunt Vickie even though we were cousins. May the Lord give you comfort at this time knowing that she is with him now and no longer hurting. Love you Dave and am thinking of you at this time.
So sorry to hear of Vicky Passing but happy that she is in Heaven with Jesus and family, will see you again one day.
I met Vicky when she was not well. The Lord asked her to carry a heavy Cross. She did that with dignity and with a smile on her face. RIP
I enjoyed so many fun times with Vicky and no one could make me laugh like she could! And when she called for her kids, every kid in the neighborhood came running! What a reunion in have! I love you Dave and you’re in my prayers.
