Vikki has been a dear friend since we met and became high school classmates at CCCHS. She was smart, with a loving and caring personality . We've shared many trips, gatherings and wonderful memories. Both Joe and I will miss times spent with her. Praying for comfort for Pat and her family. Joe and Gloria Newell

My aunt Vikki was the sweetest. I always enjoyed visiting her and uncle Pat's place and spending time with them. And with Kristin, Sean, and Matt. My condolences to them. I know that you're at peace now aunt Vikki. I'm glad I got to be a part of your life.

Dear family, I wanted to send to you love and prayers ! I loved Vikki dearly and will greatly miss her. We had wonderful times painting together! We visited a lot about our love for family and how beautiful the world God created for us. May you all have many beautiful memories of the gift she was to all of us.

I want to convey my deepest sympathy on the passing of dear, sweet, Vikki. She was one in a million. We can rest knowing she is free from pain and with our Savior ( and how wonderful that is) but for you and Pat, Matthew and Sean and the grandkids and in-laws this leaves a deep void. It’s so hard losing your mother. And for Pat his beloved wife. Ken and I rejoice with you and grieve with you. And all of this is somehow hard to convey with mere words. This tension between earthly grief and eternal hope can truly be considered the worst of times and the best of times. Just know we are praying and thinking of you all as we picture Vikki sitting with her Savior with a smile on her face. And as your earthly tears fall that same Savior is with all of you to give you comfort and peace. With love, Peggy and Ken

I am praying for peace and comfort for family and friends. Vikki will be so very missed. She was such a kind and loving soul. I am sure the Father has now told her 'Well done good and faithful servant.' I can see our heavenly Father hugging Vikki and saying welcome home my precious daughter Bless you all, Carol
