Sorry for your loss. May the GOD of all comfort be with the family at this time of sorrow.

May you be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding you. Friends are the pillars on your porch. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes they lean on you, and sometimes it's just enough to know that they are standing by. They say love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies. "Love never fails". 1Cor 13:8.

We first became friends with Vicki at Immaculate Conception Church as we sat behind Vicki every Sunday. She always wanted a hug and a kiss on the cheek when we greeted each other. We have missed that since she became ill. She is now in the hands of the Lord. May she rest in peace and we will pray for her.

Had the pleasure of working with Vicki at Charleston Memorial Hospital in the Laboratory. She was a joy to work with and her unpredictability always made the day at work anything but dull. Only good memories.
