Life isn't fair. Especially for those who are good, honest and loving. Vicky was good to her family and friends. She was honest always available to offer advice and loving to all those she touched throughout life. Never to be forgotten, tucked in the folds of our heart forever and her voice will forever resound in our memory. I've known her since her high school days when she would stop by our home with her friend Stacey, who happens to be my daughter; I can still hear her say, "Hi Mrs. Turnbull" in her high pitched voice. She was a good friend, honest in her perception of life and always loving! A terrible loss. My deepest condolences to her husband, father, children, siblings and all other family members.
Rosanna and Russell, I'm not sure you remember me, but I worked at Husmann School and helped out your dad when Vicky was sick. You stayed at my house and Tom would bring you to school. You used to say our house was a "Vicky house". We do not live there anymore, but it sure was a great house! I was so was sorry to hear about Vicky's passing. I pray that you are all doing well.
