I worked with Vicky 30+ years ago at 1 West Wilson. Vicky, Mary S. & myself took breaks and some lunches together . I especially remember her "smart" wardrobe and positive attitude. We lost touch over the years but I am sadden to read of her passing. My heartfelt sympathy.

Vicky left her mark on my life, beginning when I was a child. She had a beautiful soul, and a contagious smile. I remember her laugh as something that made me smile. My sympathy is with your family. She is at peace now and watching over us. Let the memories buffer your pain, and let yourself smile. That's what she would want.
