    God bless your family with amazing grace to help your grieving hearts. Many memories I will cherish of you kids growing up living next door to your family for 10 years. I always told your Mom that they should make paper doll books using you kids as the paper dolls. I pray for you with love .

    Vicki was more than a mother to Stephanie. They were each other's best friend. They traveled together, went out to eat and spent a lot of time together. Mo made them a three-some. Vicki was a very skilled crocheter and made Mo lots of fun scarves. She even taught Mo how to make Granny Squares. My deepest sympathy to her large family. Melissa and Andy Kitzmiller
