  • Aunt Vicky was a very loving person to every one she met – that was her way of life. She was my Mom’s best friend over the years that they associated with each other. We are all so saddened by Vicky’s passing, but I’m certain that my Mom is so happy to be with her once again – in Heaven. Rest in peace, Aunt Vicky.

  • I had the distinct honor of having a dinner with Victoria and some of her loving family, including her daughter Vicky. She impressed me as a caring and gentle soul. My mother passed away 11 months ago and she was over 100. That same dignified wisdom is rare to find these days and Victoria blessed all who knew her with that grace, daily. I was Blessed to meet her !! Heaven will be a happier place with Victoria’s soul, and, just like my Mom, she can be present to all of her family, no longer bound by dimensions of time and space. God is still with us through all those who love us and have gone before us.

  • Vicky, God rest your mothers soul and our family is praying for you and her at this difficult time. The Braintree McCabe‘s.
