Vickie touched the hearts of many and will forever be in our hearts till we are united in the Kingdom of God.
The Lord is my Shepherd; there is nothing I shall lack.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me to tranquil streams.
He restoreth my soul, guiding me in the paths of righteousness so that his name may be glorified.
Even though I wander through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are at my side, with Thy rod and Thy staff that comfort me.
You spread a table for me on the presence of mine enemies.
You anointest my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Only goodness and kindness will follow me all the days on my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever.
Vickie will be laid to rest in Ouray, Colorado at a later date.
