My deepest sympathy to Donna, Donny and David. Your Mom was truly a wonderful lady. After reading these messages from all of her 'daughters', it brought back many memories. I will keep you all in my prayers.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your mother, Vicki. She was a wonderful woman. She was a 2nd mother to the "Girls from the Kup". She will be missed.

Vickie will always share a place in my heart. Memories of her and the Kup will remain as the best part of my teenage years. She was a wonderful woman. Donna, I offer my sincere condolences to you and your family.

My deepest sympathy to Donna and all of your family. Vickie was our after school mom. She always had time to listen and never criticized. She just let us be teenagers. No doubt this is one of the reasons I feel those were such wonderful years. The Kup was our second home. It is where deepest friendships were formed. Donna, I hope we can talk soon. I miss you.

What would we have done without Vickie to be there for us at the Kup thoughout our high school years? Always a good listener, she had the patience of a saint, putting up with our shenanigans every day after school. To Donna, best friends throughout high school and then some, and the family... I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mom was such a wonderful person.

Tony and I deeply regret the loss of Vickie. She was a wonderful "mother" to all the girls from the KUP. I fondly remember all the days and evenings we spent in and around "The Corner". She made it a wonderful place to grow up. Will keep her and her family in our prayers.

My condolences to your family. I grew up across the street and fondly remember Vickie giving me free hot dogs, hamburgers and candy from the Kup. She was a very nice woman.
