Barbara (Fabby) Cox. We shared a few classes together. I was only at Dixie our Senior year. I have fond memories of Vicki. She leaves this realm too soon but will be with us all in our hearts.
Going to miss this lovely lady!
Bob and family, our condolences go out to you on the loss of Vicki Rose. I worked with her at the hospital and loved seeing her smiling face when she was on duty in her shift supervisor role. She executed her role so well and had the respect and admiration of all her colleagues. She has had a difficult time recently but is now in her heavenly pain-free home. I will surely miss her and always remember her so fondly. It was a privilege to meet and work with her along life’s journey. God has acquired another wonderful and caring angel in his kingdom!

You will be missed
Bob, Steve, Bobby and Katie…I just wanted to express my condolences on the loss of your beautiful wife and mother. I know she is leaving a huge hole in your life. She was always a wonderful, welcoming neighbor to me and I will miss seeing her enjoying the pool, sitting on the deck basking in the sunshine. She has eternal sunshine now! I am happy she is no longer in pain but I am saddened that she isn’t physically here with you anymore….but I know she will always be here in your hearts. Please let me know if you need anything at all during this difficult time. She will be missed by so many! Love, Darlene, Rick and Tank

To My Beloved Little Sister…
From my earliest memories, playing as brother and sister, I’ll never forget yearly vacations in NH, playing in the sand, slipping downstairs early each Christmas morning, your broken arm jumping from the high diving board, grade school, high school and your college graduation. You were so dedicated to becoming a nurse and rose to the top of your profession helping others. I will miss you so much but now look forward to seeing you again in Heaven.
I love you little sister,
Your brother
