"Vickie was a good friend in the 1970's. I lost track of her after she moved from Ankeny. I found out in 2005-6 she was in the CF Lutheran Home and would have visited her if I'd known. I'm originally from Cedar Falls. Vickie had the sweetest smile and was the nicest of friends. We had such a good time together. I send my condolences to you, her three children.

"I had the honor of working with Vicki for 2 years while working at the Cedar Falls Lutheran Home. She was one of my favorite ladies, hands down. She loved getting her nails painted. She always seemed to have a smile on her face. Even though I haven't seen her in a couple years...she will be missed!"

"Jerry, Julia, and Michelle I'm so sorry to hear about your Mother. I have very fond memories of her and the three of you from when we where kids. I always thought she had the greatest laugh. I'll be thinking of all of you in the days to come."
