Growing up in our old neighborhood, I remember Vickie in our younger years going through a period of illness that seemed to me like a long time. She recovered and whatsoever her hands found to do, she did it with all her might; recognizing there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, to which we go. I have great commiseration and compassion for Freida, DeWayne, the children, grandchildren, church family, friends, and all those who loved Vickie. ~Sándra Simpson~

My condolences and prayers to the entire family. A beautiful and sweet soul. Rest In Peace
