A rock Little sister Big sister Interchangeable A loyal and giving daughter Whose heart sought out and embraced the good Keeper of a family's dreams Confidant Confessor Backbone Joyfully, she gave what was needed Trailblazer without fanfare None sought Fierce defender of the beloveds Fierce adversary of the unloving Her strength resided not in her words For there were few But in her deeds Her actions Decisive and sure The conversation of a life She asked no favor Begged for no shelter Yet generous with her time Possessions Wisdom From pigtailed child Eyes sparkling Full of determination Bouncing purposefully In red dress on the family couch To laser-focused leader and sage Astute observer of her world With a view always of her choosing Her perspective Her insight Her vision So here few are This part of her journey at an end She can rest now But only for a moment As a new journey calls She fought that good fight with all she had inside Ever enduring Rest now And claim a reward for a life of giving In a place where there is no pain… Please share memories and leave condolences for Vicki's family by signing the guestbook.
