Bill,
Rhonda, Karen, Bud, Mike and John and family. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Now she was one lady with spunk! I
have so many fond memories of Vi... all those nights sitting around the table eating our ice cream and just talking. Sometimes
she felt like a second Mom to me. And then when we drag raced up the on ramp of Rt 81 from the Hanover Street north bound
on ramp, Vi in her 1969 Torino! That sure was a nice car, and fast too! Mike, we sure had some good times, didn't
we? Remember when Vi loaned us her Impala SS 396 convertible? I'll never forget her telling me, "Roger, now when
you tromp on it", not if, but when (and I did)! She was a great lady and even though it's been a few years
since I have seen her, I'm going to miss her.
God bless you all! Roger L Rickrode _______________
Rhonda, Karen & Mike, We will miss Vi. We would see her from
time to time at the Hamilton Resturant. She was very proud of her family and especially her granddaughter. She was a friend,
a great lady to work with and was willing to help us in any way she could.

Rest in Peace my Friend. Linda Manning ______________
It's
taken awhile, but I've finally found the strength to visit this website and read Mom's obituary. Many thanks to the
Ewings for a lovely service and this equally lovely tribute to my mother. To all those who sent condolences and attended Mom's
funeral: Thank You and May God Bless You! She's obviously touched the lives of many in a very positive way. I love Mom
more than I can say, and I miss her greatly. She was a wonderful woman, and she did more for me than I could ever repay (not
that she would ever allow me to anyway!). Rest peacefully in your beautiful new home Mom. With God's grace, I look forward
to the day when I join you there. For now, frequent visits to the cemetery will have to be enough as I carry your memory with
me daily. You will always be in my heart. Love eternally, Bud (Ron Dick Jr. "Bud") _______________
