What a marvelous friend she was. Always worried about being a burden during her illness, she was a trooper & hung in there to the end...LUV YA VIC

Vickie was the epitome of friendship. She never said a derogatory word about anyone ... always had a smile and blushed at the thought of someone looking her way.

I remember her to be outside herself ... always hoping everyone else was having a good time. Vickie's parties were always a blast.

Her passing was tough on us all. And she always worried if we'd be okay when she was gone ...

Janet Lawson said it so well, but I have to add my two cents: Vickie was the very FIRST person at LHS to make me feel welcome. After our family was transferred back to St Joe, (my dad w/TWA-KCI) from Cocoa Beach, Fla, I felt I had landed in Hee-Haw... when I first walked down the halls, everyone wore overalls! CPO shirts, Jeans... from where I was from, we wore Catholic School uniforms by day, jeans, hang-ten shirts, summer duds all the rest of the time.

But then I met Vickie: when other groups of students had their cliques, Vickie invited me to join her outside of class. That is how I made friends - thru her wide circle of friends. She defended me when some MEAN girls made fun of me/my dress, etc! Never a sweeter person on earth, the blushing so true. She was so self-conscious, and kind, so generous, a hard-worker at DQ, she and her sister would fight, but they were so tight. I'll never forget sitting with the Gordons, Dixie after the funeral - which was so incredibly difficult.

Vickie will never be forgotten- her legacy is in all of our hearts, as we ALL can recount many kindnesses that Vickie initiated.
