My Best Friend of 26 Years

You haven't left enough room on this page for me to fill you in on what an amazing Friend Vicky Odell was ...26 years with her was not long enough...I miss her so much ! Watching her go through Cancer was the hardest thing I had ever done in my life...to watch someone deteriorate ..they gave her 2 years...she lasted 5 months ....The worst time I had controlling my emotions with her was when My Daughter was seeing her for the 1st time since she had gotten really sick..I had been outside talking to her Sons getting the update and My Daughter walked in without me...it was a few min and I walked in the room...Everyone was in there and her Daughter was putting her in her Chair...My daughter turned to look for me with tears welling up and then Vicky heard my voice and looked for me...when I got close enough to hug her...she had the BIGGEST TEARS in her Eyes I had ever seen...she was so scared it was the 1st time I cried with her ...What I can tell you about her as a person...She was an amazing Mom.Wife.Sister and Friend she was always happy and never was greedy she would do anything for anyone anytime! she worked hard and was always grateful for what she had...she loved her kids more then life and when the grandkids came...life began again!!! she loved Family and what it stood for...I miss my best friend!
