Dear Andy, Jeff, Jason and families,We are so very sorry for your loss and pray for healing to come to all of you although there will be a huge void in your lives. She was special.My memories of Vicki are from a time longer ago than seems possible. We were very young and both new to the Rathbun Hatchery. We hit it off right away and had so much in common - the boys, sewing, gardening, canning etc. and we had some really good times. I'll share my memory of meeting Vicki after we got moved into our house at the hatchery. She came over and one of the very first things she asked was if we wanted to go to church with you all in Moravia. A testimony to her faith even at that young age. I also remember as we were visiting in our back yard our very spoiled and naughty Cocker Spaniel lifted his leg and peed on Vicki's foot! I was so very, very embarrassed but she kindly laughed it off and even after that she made me her friend. I don't think she ever did like that dog though. So many people have mentioned her laugh and smile - they were her trademark. Love to all of you, Marsha & Vern Posted by Marsha Spykerman - Sibley, IA - Friend April 03, 2016
