I am a past client of Vicki's at Career Minds. Not only was Vicki immensely helpful, but she is a loving and giving person who helped me come to terms with my job loss. I recently thought of Vicki and went onto her linked in page. I was so saddened to hear the news of her passing. Albeit late, my thoughts and prayers go out to her and her husband. I hope that she enjoyed her last 2 years in lovely Rehoboth Beach.
Vicki: Oh, my, my, my---
We met at the Appletree nightclub, in D.C. We had a blast together for those several months we kept in touch--
when I lost my job, you typed up a new, professional resume' on your own time---
The 1st night we went out, your father was killed in a plane crash in Conn.
I still remember dancing with you and the song playing was "More Than a Woman" by the BeeGees...I told you that you were that to me, and you said that was great to hear...I guess you stayed in touch with Patty your friend back then...I remember her phoning me the morning after your Dad's death to tell me that you asked her to tell me you weren't going to be at the Appletree that night 'cause of his death...how thoughtful...Then was the time you took me to Kennedy Center for ballet; you pointed out the dancers by name; you had a crush on Baryshnikov...LOL...we'd go biking in Reston, where you lived...ah, the memories---it was great knowing you---Rest In Peace
I was just writing to Vicki to let her know how excited I am about my new job and to thank her for all her help, when I thought to check in with her on LinkedIn.
To all who loved her, please accept my condolences. I am sorry for your loss. I never met Vicki, but the optimism she conveyed by phone and email inspired me to keep searching until I found the right path. She will be in my prayers.
I am so saddened to hear that the world has lost Vicki. I had the privilege and pleasure of getting to know Vicki as my career coach. However, she become a good friend, a personal inspiration and a bright light in my life. Her eternal optimism was contagious and her spirit unbreakable. My life has been forever touched by her and she will be missed! I truly hope that she is at peace and smiling down at us. My condolescences to her husband Larry, their family and friends. Hugs to you Vicki!!
I knew Vicki through Career Minds and PSPS. She was a lovely woman and very kind and helpful to me. Wishing you strength and peace.
I am so thankful for my friendship w/ Vicki. We shared many laughs together and I loved her spirit. Vicki always looked @ the positive side of everything. My condolences to Larry & Vicki's family. She will remain in my heart. (:
Dear Larry and other family,
I loved Vicki. Always positive. Always can do. She provided me with orientation and interviewed me though all decisions were made by Mr. Nottingham :) I will always remember Larry and Vicki as THE BEST Christmas party throwers we have so far encountered. Vicki's love for her management associates was second only to Larry. I was so pleased to be able to help support that with and for her and the associates she so effectively selected and nurtured. I will miss but fondly remember Vicki.
Vicki, rest in peace. Thank you so much for your work while with Alico; making our transition into the company all the more comfortable and rewarding.
I knew Vicki from 1996 when she recruited me ALICO/AIG Management Associate from SAIS.
Adaptation to the new industry, new company, new countries (Greece, Romania)with various related hardships were softened by Vicki's care and genuine interest in us, MA's, her "children." There was many of us whom she helped. And she was the one who cemented us as fraternity. Her last gift to us was a chance to get back in touch with old friends. Vicki, we love you and we miss you!

I wil always remember how I met Vicki in April 1998 at an interview for the ALICO MA program. Back then not many people were willing to give a job to a 25 year old Belarusian without much experience, but Vicki hired me into the MA program - starting a life long connection to the AG world, and giving me a new life. Since then she always was a source of advice and guidance.
And just what a cool, independent minded, cultured and educated person she was.
Larry - many sympathies and wishes of strengths from Hong Kong.
