rip sweet lady
Rest now, Vickie. You and Don are together with God. We never forget the many memories.
Some of my earliest memories of childhood are Mom & Daddy playing cards with Don & Vickie. Vickie had such a great laugh! And the shopping trips! WOW! Kristie and I would pile up in the backseat of that black Lincoln with Vickie and my mom. By the time we made it home the trunk was full, the backseat so packed Kristie was in my lap! I think they actually tied Shawnda and Jason to the top of the car one time LOL. Those women knew how to shop! And don’t get me started on the BINGO adventures!
Vickie will be missed by everyone who knew her but I know she’s in Heaven with Don and all the loved ones she’s missed.
Godspeed sweet lady.
In memory of Vickie: I try to live my life so that those who value what I am will have profited by my time on earth and be left with comforting recollections of what we have meant to each other. Rest in Peace Vickie.
I am so very sorry for the passing of this sweet lady!!!
