This message is for Vicky's family. I was blessed to work with Vicky at FPD and knew her well. Her girls were young ladies back then and I just wanted you to know that she left such an impression on so many people. Here is almost twenty years later and yet, I remember her like yesterday. She was a great woman and I have no doubt that legacy lives on in you. God bless you and know that we have not forgotten.
