Just a note to tell you how much I enjoyed working with Vicki at Rivershore. We had many good times and lots of laughs but when the chips were down you wanted Vicki in your corner! I now live in Texas. I also lived on Harper Dr. by Tom and Susan. My prayers are with you all. I am deeply saddened this has happened. Vicki was a great friend and neighbor of mine for 20 years and I will miss her very very much. Kristin, Lucille and Sue -- My prayers are with you all and please let me know if there is anything I can do. Kristin, Lucille and Sue, You are in my thoughts and prayers. Words are so inadequate to describe beautiful Vicki and the loving impact she had on our family. I have known Vicki for 41 years. We met when i was a little girl and our family moved in next door to her. I have very few childhood memories that do not include "Aunt Vicki". I loved her dearly and feel blessed to have known her for such a long time. She called me in California the week before she went into the hospital and I am so grateful that I had the chance to tell her how much she meant to our family and to hear her great laugh. I hope that you will all be comforted by each other and find solace spending time with her little grandson of whom she was so proud of and loved so dearly. Dear Kristin and Lucille, Your family and friends in Norway are so sorry for your loss. We met Kristins family for the first time at Kristin and Svens wedding in California and we spent some unforgettable days with Vicki and Lucille. Our hearts go out to you all in your time of sorrow. SUSAN AND FAMILY So sorry about Vicki. She consoled my kids in 1970 when my eldest was in a fatal accident My condolences and prayers.PEGGY Just a note to say how much we all loved Vicki at Rivershore... knowing Vicki for 6 years has been wonderful and i know that i will miss her so much. there will be a sad absence in all our hearts. she was such a strong spirited woman and knowing her you learned quickly that the best way to earn her respect was to be just as strong.. and i like to think that i did. God bless you all during this difficult time, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I was so very saddened to hear of Vicki's passing. She was such a giving caring person. She took such wonderful care of all four of my children while Dr. McMahon's patients. It was like having a sister at the office. I'm sure she will be missed by many. God Bless I just wanted to say that Vicki was a beautiful person and I feel lucky to have known her and worked so closely with her at Rivershore. I will always remember her for her mishcievious laugh and grin, big heart, and genuine interest in other people. I adored her and she will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this sad time. Kristin, I will forever remember your mom fondly, as she had so much energy and was so positive and free in her approach to life. She was a different kind of a mom in DeVeaux and I always remember that in a really positive way because she showed us that happiness, intelligence, creativity, productivity, and dignity are not always achieved by following the "rules" of society. This lesson is an important one for people like me who came from a family who always felt there was only one path to success and happiness. We are shaped by the people around us and while you likely don't realize this, your family helped to shape me. So for that, I thank you and Vicki. I just wanted to say I was saddened by Vicki's passing. She made the world a better place by being here. Will miss her personality, smile, and caring attitude. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all! I just want to end with Vicki was "Character Approved" Dearest Kristin and family, What a delight it was to work with your Mom, Vicki, in my Dad's office. She just LOVED to boss him around, (which no one else ever did), and he loved her to pieces. He knew she was an excellent nurse, kept us all in line, and especially kept him is his place with just a wink of her eye and a wave of the hand. She had a wonderful way with patients - kids & parents, and anyone who she befriended. Vicki was ALWAYS showing the most recent picture of her beautiful daughter and was SO proud of everything Kristin did. She also was so fun to have as a buddy. Vicki loved talking about her parents, good friends of my parents. She always made me feel like I belonged, helped me a great deal when my Dad died, and I shall never forget her kindnesses. I am sitting here with a smile just remembering her sparkling eyes, that laugh, and imagining that she up there with my Dad, Eule & Vic, laughing and all sharing a smoke and a drink! Sorry you have to hurt, but thanks for sharing such a great lady. ;
