Viki and I were close friends for a time. We sadly lost touch a few years after we were both married. I talked to George Ligeros and he told me that Viki always said she would die young. She died June 28, 2000 in her sleep. She had an enlarged heart that had not been diagnosed. George also told me that she was a significant part of her Grand Children's life and that they loved her and miss her very much. Rest in Peace Viki.Love

My baby sister was the flower girl at Vicki and George's wedding. She was three and George's uncle got her smashed. It was very entertaining seeing a three year old running down the isle with her dress up over her head!Vicki was a friend and was wild and crazy and was so delighted to be a mother and grand mother. She loved her family more than life itself.
I will always remember when all of us would stay over at her house and end up trowing up on her lawn. Her mom told us what would happen but we had to find out for ourselves.
I think of her often and know the love she felt for her family lives on.

I always liked Vickie. She had neat hair. We had some good times after she got married and it was so cool to go to her apartment. It felt so grown up. She had a way that she tilted her head. I am saddend by the loss of our friend.Cindy Anderson Lampropoulos
