I was deeply saddened to hear of the sudden loss of Vickie. She was truly a remarkable woman. Her kind heart, genuine friendship and laughter will forever be missed. Each Monday morning she would greet me with a heart warming smile followed by a Good Morning Barb. What a great way to start a new week. The NICU at Blank Children's Hospital was greatly rewarded by her presence. She will be deeply missed. Her compassion, caring, and free spirit way cannot be mimicked by anyone. What a tremendous loss. I am most certain she is telling great stories to all who will listen inside the gates of Heaven. God Bless her family and hold them close during this time of tremendous loss!

Shocked & saddened tonight to learn of Vicky's passing. Such a special lady! Her kind heart and wonderful sense of humor will be dearly missed on the night shift in the NICU. She was often the first person to greet me on arriving to work . . . always with a cheery "Hi, Sandy"; the NICU just won't be the same. My heart goes out to her family & all her grandchildren who she frequently spoke of so fondly . . . with that familiar spark in her eyes as she described their latest antics. Know that she will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by all who where privileged to work with her. She has truly touched my life and made the NICU a much brighter place. May God bless you in this time of sadness.

My sincere condolences to Vicky's family. I pray for God's healing hands to comfort your loss and heal you. I worked with Vicky at BMC. Vicky was one of the first I became friends with there. she was always pleasant, kind with an outgoing and joyful personality, no matter what her personal trials were. My sincere sympathy and love to you all. We lost a very special person but heaven has gained a very special angel.

I will always remember Vicky for the warm hearted, kind and loyal person she was. She knows how to make a person feel at home and is a breath of fresh air with her stories of life and love and her wit which is needed at night! She always put a smile on my face. She will be missed dearly

I will miss hearing your stories, and just chatting at the desk together. You always had a smile to offer and words of wisdom. There is no one like you and there will be a huge hole to fill in the NICU. I know you are looking down on us from heaven!

I am so very sad to hear of Vicky's passing. I worked with Vicky at BMC many years ago. She was a terrific unit clerk, and a very fun person to visit with. I was always happy to come to work and see that Vicky was working that day also. She will be remembered and missed not only by her family, but by her 'work' families. Prayers to the family.
