She didn’t always remember my name but when Kimmie would tell her ” it’s Vicki, the Avon lady” she would know who I was.
She was a very sweet lady. Sending our condolences and prayers of comfort to the family.
She was a very loving and caring person. Her Lynnie was one of my bestest friends and still is. She was always kind and sweet to me when I was around. My heart goes out to her family. Long distance makes it hard to be there but they are in my heart and prayers.
