    My heartfelt condolences go out to Larry and family at this loss of such a precious light! I've known both Larry and Vicki for many years, long before God brought them together as husband and wife. And what a blessed Union they became! Vicky and I shared many times of dog stories, but more so, praying and seeking God's will for our lives. I will always remember those times. My life has been deeply inspired by Vicki's sweet spirit and positive attitude, which always shined through her smile! May God's grace and Vicki's impression on others' lives be your strength. In His Love, Donna Burk ~ Donna Burk, Sherman, Texas
