Hi Vicki and Bill: We visited with you briefly Friday evening. We are so sorry for your loss.
In going through some older photos, came across some of both your parents. When I accomplish the task, I will get the photos to one of you to share. There are some really nice candid photos of them both.
If I do not get them to you before you both have to return to your homes, please email me a mailing address where we could send them.

Just wanted to let you know that you will continue to be in my prayers. Laura Coe keeps me posted when she hears news from Uganda so I have already been praying for you in the last week or so. How long do you plan to be in the States? Could you send me you phone contact while you are here, I would love to talk to you. Any specific prayer requests keep me posted. Love you, Lori
Dear Vicki:
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God continue to give you His peace, love and comfort at this time.

Vicki and Bill,
I will always remember the sound of your mom’s laughter. It was warm and full of joy – and that is the way I remember her as a kid growing up across the street from you.
God Bless you Dottie.
Dear Vicki,
I was sad to hear your mom passed away. I would be at the funeral, but I am in a training all day on Saturday. Let me know what I can do. I’m sure it has been difficult to be so far away. Patricia
Dear Vicki,
I am sorry to read of your mother’s death. My mom passed away in ’87. I hope your time in the area is full of rich memories of your mom. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to Dottie’s Son, Daughter, and grandson.
I became friends with Dottie a few years ago and our monthly visits became something I looked forward to. She was so fiesty and loved so much to talk about her grandson. I remember so many wonderful stories she shared with me. The last thing I did for her was rub her feet after she was in the hospital. I always called her “twinkle toes”. She will truly be missed.
Dear Vicki
May the Comforter be with you and the rest of your family at this time!
With love and a big hug
Kim
