She has been there for me for my lowest part of life and she has really brought me back to life. I want to give her flowers because she truly has been one of a kind. She has given be insight and listening to the worst of the worst but never given up on me. If money wasn’t tight I would stay with her. She has given me the tools to tackle the real world and know my worth. It has been a pleasure and I will be back to let her know what great stuff I’ve be able to accomplish because of her. Thank you Vicki for everything you do or have done. Thank you.
