Therefore, unconditional love was given and received. Vickie was truly the MVP of her family. She was the true definition of a superb support system. She always showed up to every event, game, party or gathering that she was invited too. In her youth and young adult ages, she was a great basketball and softball player.

She was truly an Angel while here on earth. She is loved dearly and will be missed deeply.
