To my Dearest Vicki-
I can never thank you enough for being a great friend- strong yet tender, firm yet considerate. During our time together you were always there to support everyone you've met and saw something deep inside of us that inspired us to do our best. No matter how difficult the circumstance you were able to see with eyes unclouded. you have given us the gift to be positive and to never sweat the small things because life is too short. The lessons you've instilled in our hearts will last many lifetimes. Your infectious laughter and sense of humor blessed our faces with joy and fond memories we will hold dear. You made such an impact in our lives and for that you will be in our hearts forever. We are so honored to have known you as a mentor and a friend. Love, your Assistant.

Vicki-
You were the best sister anyone could ever have. You gave your love so unconditionally to us all. I know you knew how I felt about you. You were my Marcia and I was your Jan. God needed a special Angel when he called you home. My heart is so broken right now over your death. This world was such a better place because of you. Thank you for blessing me with 52 years of happiness, love, support, and friendship. I will forever love you and miss you.

Vicki was a very important part of the JKH family and was dearly loved and admired by us all. Please also know that she loved to tell us about her real family. I personally enjoyed hearing her talk about Aubrey and her soon-to-be sibling. We heard of the times that her nephew loved to make her face turn bright red by bringing things up at the dinner table that were forbidden. All of our hearts felt her sorrow through her mother's illness and eventually her death. Vicki will be missed by so many, and luckily we all have wonderful memories to treasure and share.
