I am so deeply sorry for all of you, losing a mom at our age is very rough! Atleast you all know you will see her again! I miss mine every day, they say it gets better with time, but truly you just learn to live with the pain. Your mom was a very sweet woman, I remember her baby sitting me and my brother and all of yall, we all had fun every day and she always had stuff for us to do to keep us all busy! Lol I’ll never forget those days! Shell was just a baby and Chris and Joey were pretty little..lol..but me Jarred, and Jason were always into something lol. Im glad you all have each other to lean on right now along with your other family. Take care you guys and gals tomorrow is never promised to any of us!!!

I have thought back to so many years ago when I was just 13 years old and here came the Jackson family to Melbourne Rd. I have so many great memories of babysitting,hanging out and and just making great memories with Vickie and the family. I remember always being so excited to see The Jackson United shows rolling in every year.She was such a big influence on as a mother like figure to me that carried over into my own children. I’m so glad that we were able to reconnect not long ago. My love and prayers to all the family and friends she was truly a very special person in my life and will always hold a special part of my heart.
49 years of friendship even though years may have passed between us seeing each other at times it was like none had passed at all. Vicky was such a a beautiful soul inside and out and was always there to talk for hours and give some love when I needed a shoulder and to share in the laughter when times were good. We hadn’t seen each other for years and she knew my voice when I was talking to my son from another isle in Washington Walmart and she flipped me out when she came around the corner and we started talking like it hadn’t been any length of time at all. She even lived with me and my kids for a short period of time during one of her transitions. She was just a bowl of joy to be around and I’m going to miss my dear old friend. May the God of all peace that surpasses all understanding give her family comfort. I know you all and my prayers are with you and for you. For some reason when I seen her on her birthday 8 years ago, I thought it might be the last until we all see Jesus and what a wonderful day it will be!!!…Rest in peace my dear friend!!! Love and a friend forever, GINNY wit a G Williams…
