Bob, Becky and Rob, I had worked with Vicki at the Sauk County Clerk of Courts office for several years prior to her retirement. Such a wonderful and caring lady, always had a funny comment and/or a smile when she saw you. One of the things I most remember about Vicki is that she LOVED her family unconditionally and spoke of them often. Bob, you truly were her “person”, she adored you. I am certain you have a treasure trove full of love and happy memories to hold onto and I am so sorry for your loss.
