No12pass died Wednesday night, from one of the asthma attacks she had mentioned in some of her comments. Her daughter, Mindi, wrote this about her mother.
I would love people to know:
Vicki was truly cheerful and happy. Despite the hardships that life brought her and that she brought herself, she maintained a level of positive energy unsurpassed by anyone I have ever met. She smiled and laughed through it all. She hadn't had her health in several years due to asthma that she could never get control of...along with decades of other more personal struggles.
Two of the most important things in Vick's life were God and her Grandchildren. If she wasn't feeding her spiritual side....she was baby sitting and soaking up the love. Due to her poor health she wasn't extremely physically active, so she compensated by exercising her mind. She found hours of enjoyment on the halfbakery and I want to thank all of those people that inter-acted with her and entertained her.
She also was extremely talkative and full of puns, one liners and hysterical wisdom that I will miss for the rest of my life. A "Vicki-ism" would be to say that the nut doesn't fall far from the tree...so hopefully her humor and smiles will live on through me and the grandkids she adored so deeply.
On behalf of "no12pass" thank you so much and make sure you hug all your loved ones and let them know how you feel.-- jutta, Mar 07 2004 no12pass http://www.halfbakery.com/user/no12pass [jutta, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004] mentions and annotations http://www.halfbake...on=no12pass&ok=+OK+ [jutta, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004] World Asthma Day http://www.utvlive....h.asp?id=45317&pt=n [po, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004] oh no!!-- po, Mar 07 2004 I wish her family much peace in their hearts.
