Dear Steve & Mr. and Mrs. Robb-
Although we never met in person, Vicki was a dear friend from online at the Ladies of Lallybroch & Shamrock and Stones communities. Her kindness, sweetness and fun loving spirit always came through in her posts on our message boards. She never complained and always had a wonderful outlook on life. She and I shared our love of college sports together, rooting on each others teams.
Over the years of sharing online friendship,one thing was obvious, Vicki's love and pride of her family & pets was the most important thing in her life.
I send my blessings and condolences to you. May memories of her strong kind, spirit comfort you.
Sincerely,
BetsyG

To Steve and the rest of Vicki's family...Vic touched so many lives with her caring and giving ways, mine included. It is amazing to me just how far-reaching her touch has spread, as evidenced as I log on to my computer and read the dozens of dozens of posts on various sites. She was such a warm-hearted, kind soul, and she will be missed for the rest of all our lives. I will miss sharing so many things with her. I will miss our talks. I will miss her support. I will miss her voice on my phone. My heart breaks for her and your families and for everyone who ever met and loved her, for they are one in the same...Be at peace, my forever Friend. Pooky Bear sends his love.

Steve, Steve Jr., and the Robb families,
I am so sorry for your loss. Vicki was very special to us at Ladies of Lallybroch and I will personally miss her every day.
One year I was her Secret Santa and she mentioned that she never had an Easy Bake oven, so I found her a lovely turquoise model on eBay to surprise her. We had a good laugh over that.
I hope that knowing so many people were touched by Vicki's life will be of some comfort to all of you.
With my sincere condolences,
Marcie Cutrer

Dear Steve & family, I knew Vicki through Ladies of Lallybroch and Shamrocks & Stones. I did not have the privilege of meeting Vicki in person, but I came to know and love her bright spirit and love of life (and baseball!) through her posts and on-line chats. She will be dearly missed and always remembered.

I am so very sad for the lost of your sweet Vicki. Though I never met her personally I have 'chatted' with her numerous times on the Website Ladies of Lallybroch on the Social Board of Voy. My online name is Bandruidh. Vicki was my Secret Santa one year and I had so much fun trying to guess who she was. You could feel her loving attitude show itself many times online. She will be greatly missed by us. If I may leave a favorite quote:
Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

I don't quite know how you'd describe it, but I met her and liked her.
I'm so sorry to hear about Vicki. I met her once--or possibly twice--but have often heard about her from other Ladies, and knew her for a person of great heart and sweetness. My sympathies to all of you, and may God bless you and hold you in the palm of His hand, with Vicki.

Vicki was all sweetness and fun. Her personality was LARGE sized for all her slight stature. Those of us who knew her from her online connections benefited from her inate goodness and kind nature. She will be missed by many of us, but I have faith she is with her Lord and is waiting patiently for us to join her. I hope the memories of her will afford the family comfort and peace.

Steve and family, my deepest sympathy on the immense loss of 'Vic'. She was and always will be just 'Vic' to me, as that is what many of us fondly called her. Whilst Vic and I never met in person, we did have many a chat online over the years and I came to know Vic as a warm, funny, caring and sincere person with a heart of gold. Her deep love for her family and her 'furbabies' was always evident whenever we spoke online. I will miss our chats greatly and I wish you all peace and comfort through your fond and loving memories of her.

Vicki was one of the first of my online friends I ever met in person. It was October 2005 in Jacksonville. There's no need for me to tell you what wonderful person she was and how many lives she touched. I know how much those of us who only talked to her via computer will miss her and send you strength to stand through this terrible time. It is wonderful to think that now she can breathe deep and run far. I consider myself blessed to have been able to call her friend.

Steve and Vicki's family; our wonderful Vicki will be deeply missed. Vicki was so dear to me. A wise woman who was thoughful and kind. And fun! Vicki always knew how to make me laugh with a witty or joking comment. I loved her cheerful outlook on life and her good attitude. She supported me through some trying times and never let me down. Her kindness and love towards so many was real and true. I only hope that I gave back to her a fraction of what she gave to me. I miss her so much and she will live in my heart always. I wish you all peace and love.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I knew Vic only online, and she was such a sweet friend. We spent a lot of time the last few years exchanging messages on the Lallybroch boards and countless hours in chat, laughing and talking about anything and everything. I was her "secret santa" a few years back and I still remember her excitement and fun loving spirit. She will be sadly missed by us all.
