I have never known a more loving, kind, unique, gentle and indelible individual. Vicki defined a spirit that defied the odds and chose to be her best - everyday! She made the world a better place by just being in it and will be deeply missed by many! She touched every heart she ever came into contact with. My girls were proud to call her "Aunt Vicki" and I was honored to call her my friend. We love you, Heather, Holly & Kylie

I just want to say how sorry I am for the loss of Vicki. I have been best friends with Melissa every since I can remember.. Vicki was such a remarkably strong woman and fought to the very end. She was such a wonderful mother to her children and was always there for them. She was an amazing woman with such strength and courage. We will all miss you Vicki but we should all be so thankful that you are in heaven smiling down on all your children and will always be!!

Vicki - you made the world a better place and we will truly miss you. You were my 'Queen Warrior' and you fought with grace and dignity, never complaining and never questioning God. Your strength and faith was unwaivering. I love you and we all take comfort in the sure and certain knowledge that you rest in the loving arms of the Lord.

Vicki and I worked together for 1 1/2 years at SNS in R&D. She loved working in R&D, we were always so busy and Vicky wanted to learn, do it right and was always there to support me and get the job done. She touched my life everyday with her willingness to share her life, her never ending positivity, her smile and her endless ability to help others.
Vicky was always helping others, visiting others and doing something that was going to make someone else's life better.
The other thing we shared is we both had pit bulls. We would talk for hours about our dogs and laugh about all the silly things they did.
Vicky touched my life since the day I met her and it was an honor to know her and work with her. I will carry some of her spirit with me always and will truly miss her presence in this world.
