Exactly six months to the hour after mom woke up numb on the left side of her body she courageously lost the battle to brain cancer and peacefully stopped breathing at 10:00am on December 8th, 2009.

One of my first memories of Vicki was meeting her at a BAQG retreat and seeing her work on those teeny tiny pieces. At that time, I was just getting into quilting. I wanted to use the biggest pieces that I could. I was amazed that anyone would work on something that small. She will certainly be missed. Connie Litteer
ReplyDeleteVicki almost drove me crazy with her attention to detail. When she asked if I wanted to participate in the OmiGosh swap I said YES. It was her attention to detail that made that swap such a great one as all of hers were. She is loved and missed. Vickie Stipe
ReplyDeleteI will surely miss Vicki. Starting with snow skiing and ending with quilting she has been a great friend. Love and prayers to all of her family. Love, Jo Lynn O'Neil
ReplyDeleteVicki inspired me so much every time we went to a retreat together. She always made Quilting retreats fun and interesting. I am truly blessed to have been called her friend. Rest in Peace My Girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteTo all my quilting buddies, our sweet friend Vicki will be watching over us now. Her life was cut short, but she is in a better place now. She's prolly already teaching someone to quilt in heaven. My prayers are with The Yates family! Vicki, you will be deeply missed but not forgotten! Love, Lynne Runnels
I will truly miss my friend, She was a wonderful inspiration to me. She was always full of kind words and wonderful stories about her Husband and children and their families. I heard her tell so many stories about all of her quilting friends and their little retreats. Life was cut too short for you my friend, but now we are all bless with another Guardian Angel. Someday we will meet again, Sandie,(little)Tommie and Family.
