Dear Vickers Children,
I worked with your Mother at kellogg’s and loved her dearly. She was always cheerful, kind and caring. She was a loyal employee, and worked very hard for the Kellogg Retirees Association through some very difficult times for the group. She was always the voice for compromise and common sense. I am truly sorry for your loss.
