Vicki loved spending time with her family and this is her message she wrote for them: “God Bless you one and all, my wonderful family. Know that I will remain with you always. I will blossom with the Lilacs, Rose Bushes, and Lily of the Valley in the springtime and hum with the bees in the summer sun. I will sparkle with the snowflakes and in the ribbons of each rainbow. I will laugh when you laugh, cry when you cry, so as long as you are altogether, I leave you my love.”
