I am so shocked and saddened at seeing the passing of Vicky. She was such a wonderful lady and her family was always her world. I've never known anyone so dedicated and in love with their husband as Vicky was with Roy. I remember our times of conversation when she would waiting to pick Roy up after work and our Credit Union reunions with the cement company. Then later to work with her brother Bob and find that she was his sister. My deepest condolences go out to all of the family.

Ever since I heard that Vickie had passed away, I have been flooded with memories of my favorite cousin. We grew up giggling together, we were pregnant at the same time and snuck off to the Dairy Queen together, and we were ALWAYS on a diet together. As time marched on, we grew apart with our jobs and hectic lives. We still remained close especially in times of sorrow. I prayed so hard for her when I heard that she was in intensive care and was devastated to hear that she was gone. I can still see her smiling face saying, "By God Teedee, we are laughing today but we will be crying tomorrow."
I will be crying until we meet again. Wait for me at the gates of heaven. Until then, make sure to teach all of the angels your American Bandstand dance moves.
Love,
Your cousin Teedee (Teedalini)
