"Vicki was my Sister...always there for me when I needed support and comfort. We shared books, recipes and dinners, travel ideas, countless laughter, and even a night of bridge ever so often. My husband was her partner and she and Tim beat Bob and me 99% of the time! I miss her every day. I take joy in the lovely women, grandkids and our dear Bob as her gifts to us."
In loving memory of
Victoria Oglesby Hallam

Tributes
"My memories are many. They go back many years when we were young and foolish. What fun we had though. I can still see us playing bridge all the time and making trips into Chicago.The dinners with our parents at the Deerpath Inn. I could go on and on, but most of all I will always cherish our friendship. What a great roommate she was. I am sorry we didn't get together more. Cherish your memories Bob, Stephanie, Charlotte and Jessica. "
"Let me complete my words with my expression of love for all of you, Stephanie, Charlotte, Jessica and Bob and for your families who meant so much to Vicki too. Love, Sherry "
"Vicki was my very favorite of favorites and a wonderful friend. She always had a gentle answer to a question, a good solution to a problem that needed solving. Always happy and fun to be with and a truly caring and loving person. I will always love her and miss her. She was very special to me and to my family. My sympathy to Bob and to all of you in Vicki's family. May she rest in peace. "
"A Superstar Woman, Mother, Grandmother & friend! Lived life to the fullest and exactly how she wanted too! She is my role model of what a "real woman" should be like, CARING & LOVING to her family & husband and always thinking and putting everyone's happiness as her priority. I LOVED her fashion sense and boy could she party!! The last time I actually had the honor of her presence was at a SALSA CLUB in Los Angeles! Dancing the night away with her beautiful daughter and my dear friend Jessica:) She is an amazing woman who is BEAUTIFUL INSIDE & OUT and will be dearly missed but NEVER FORGOTTEN! Love Always & Forever, Sherri London & Family "
"Steve (Anderson) and I will always remember Vicki for her warmth, her appreciation for what others did for her and the way she always made us feel welcome whenever we popped in on them at their special, cozy cabin in the Township of Clyde. She would always offer food, which was always delicious! And, of course, the way she would roll her eyes and say, "Oh, Bob!", but always with a smile. We will miss Vicki very much, and will always cherish the good times and memories. Steve and Tammy-Your neighbors in the Township of Clyde"
