My deepest sympathy, love, and prayers to all of Vicki’s family and friends. Vicki has always come to mind when I remember special times and memories of my life growing up in Edgemont. She was my next door neighbor, and we had many times of laughter and fun in those days. I have kept up with her the last few years on FB, so that has been nice. I hope that all memories of her are special treasures to all of her family and friends!! May God bless and comfort you.
