Guestbook

  1. I remember Vicky always stopping in to visit my Grammy at the Caring Place. She would stop in and smile and talk with her and I. She was always buzzing around helping everyone she could. Always had a smile for them. She was volunteering her time to make others feel cared for. I am thankful for knowing her and her kindness.

  2. Vicky and I spent Tuesdays, Thursday, and Saturdays together at the Ymca Franklin at the Wave swim aerobic class. I enjoyed talking to Vicky. Even near the end she was a very strong lady. Always happy and never complained. She will be missed by so many at class.
