I will deeply miss my dearest friend Vicki, friendship of 50+ years! First meeting at Singer Mental health Center in Rockford Ill in our 20's we instantly developed a deep long lasting friendship. I remember my favorite Halloween with Vicki were she came to my place and we dressed as mummies, wrapping each other in torn up sheets, making fake blood and putting it on each other, we laughed so hard when we got to wrapping our hands and eventually had to ask a neighbor to do it. We where the hit of the party and no one could figure out who we were! We had sooo many fun times, and long loving talks about life. Vicki lived life to the fullest with always a positive attitude, willing to help anyone at any time. I was so tearful when she asked me to be her Maid of Honor at her and Tom's wedding. I was in awe over the years of the love she and Tom had as it was everlasting, She was always just a phone call away for me and our talks about life were so inspiring. I know she is now our Angel watching over all the people she touched. I am eternally blessed for having her as a part of my life.
