I am sorry to hear of Vickie ‘s passing. We worked together at Norfolk and Dedham in the old days. We always exchanged greetings at Christmas. She was truly a treasured friend for a long part of my life. She will be missed. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in your memories.
Vickie was a delight when I visited the church as a missionary candidate to Japan way back in the 1990’s
