The two things I will remember the most about this amazing woman was her passion to help all the kids she came in contact with, and her amazign smile. She is loved by many and will be missed each and every day. To her husband Chris, her two children, and her grandbaby, may god give you the strength and courage to help you in this time of grief.

My heart hurts for you all!

I first knew Vicki as a child. She lived down the block from me in Bridgeport. She was my first friend, and I was hers. We spent many days playing with our Barbie dolls, roller skating, and just being kids. I accompanied her to Aunt Barb's home in Ft. Wayne on numerous occasions for short vacations. Fun times! As time moved forward we went to different schools, and moved in different directions. My mom and hers had remained friends over the years, and my younger brother John and her brother Joe Mike were friends as well. I was reacquainted with Vicki through my good friend, Anna Daniel Hasan. Vicki had been married to Anna's brother, and the two of them had a close bond. Through outings with Anna I got to reconnect with Vicki, and what a treat it was to see my old friend again! Vicki's memory and our friendship will remain with me always. She was a kind soul and had a huge heart. It was truly an honor to know her. My thoughts and prayers go out to her husband, her children, her family, and to Anna who loved her as a sister. May time ease your sadness and her memory bring you comfort. - Cynthia Stewart Adams

Vicki and I were teachers together at (CANI) Brightpoint Head Start at the Temple we were a great team! I later became her supervisor at (CANI Head Start @ Grace St. John. Vicki had a love for the children and their families at Head Start. A spirit like hers is what Head Start and this world needed. Rest peacefully you will be missed.

I worked with Vicki at the Redwood Inn so many years ago. Whenever I saw her, she always had a beautiful smile and a kind word. She was a bright light in this increasingly dark world.
