This page is a tribute to Victoria. Not only does this serve as a type of recognition, it is also a gift to a great woman who has helped many people. I have been blessed with the opportunity to be a friend of Victoria's. I am truly grateful for everthing she has given me. Victoria gives a truly strengthening friendship and it is a life-changing experience.

Victoria Ann is an inspiration to many. Her kind words and gentle heart have helped many to overcome certain obstacles in life. She is a genuine angel...
--Andrea D.
To me Vic is one of us that not only know but care about how the other one is feeling and if she can help in anyway, she does, she brightens my days with her letters & helps me through the sadness that comes sometimes in my life. She helps me to fight just a little harder each time it hits & for this I can never repay her. I always want her to know that I'm there for her. I love her & God Bless her.

I have known Vicki for over 13 years... Our friendship has grown closer over time. When we first met I am most certain that she thought that I was out of my ever lived mind... You see she was caring for the daughter of one of our mutual dear friend's, Cathy. We stopped by late one afternoon to pickup Cathy's daughter. Something about Vicki told me that she was the greatest day-care-any-where, and I told her that when I had a child of my own that I was going to bring him/her to her to care for. Vicki's reaction was something to the effect of "Yea, RIGHT!"... Well a couple of years passed and I had a son. I called Vicki and arranged to go by to visit and introduce her to Nic. She didn't have a space at the moment, but there was a child who was going to be leaving shortly so I told her that since Nic wouldn't be going to day care for another month and a half or so that I would be more than happy to pay for the slot (to hold it) so as to assure that he would be able to go to her when he was ready at 3 mos. old. Done!... When Nic was about 18 mos. old he got croup really bad and was in the hospital for almost a week, and Vicki was at the hospital each and every night to check up on us ... even brought us her famous burritos (to save us from the hospital food)... Vicki has always been there for us... When I was going through Pre-Divorce 101 she was there to help out with loads of love for not only Nic, but me too... Then when the divorce actually came to pass, she was right there to help pick up the pieces and to help put Nic back together because his father was being a bit of a jerk. Over the years while Nic was in her care, Vicki and I had many Mis-Adventures. One day, I remember calling her up and saying, "Since I don't have to work tomorrow, how about you and I take the kids to the zoo" We went for it much to the chagrin of one of the parents and we had a BLAST! Same sort of thing when we had Nic's last day at Vicki's, which was also his 4th birthday and we took all the kids to the Children's Museum and to have a picnic on the hill overlooking the trolley tracks! Yet another great time together even though it was very sad because it was the end of an era! ..... When my mom AND dad both got various forms of cancer at the same time, there was Vicki, always with the kind word and shoulder to cry on... When Dad finally died two years after his diagnosis, Vicki was there for us yet again...Suffice it to say that even though Nic left her tender loving care to go on to preschool and then on to school school, we have remained in touch always!! .... She even watches our Hedgehog, Mr. Tiggywinkle, when we go out of town for any extended period of time... Last time, Nic went with me to drop off Mr. T. and Vicki was in shock when she saw Nic because he has gotten soooo big... Vicki not only took care of us but also allowed us into her life as well and I have always felt privileged to have been trusted with her confidence in me. Vicki Is truly a Guardian Angel among Angels!! and I feel honored to know her and to call her Friend!

Victoria is truly an angel, she has turned my life around, having run into her room one night was the greatest thing i have ever done, i was sexually abused and she has made me see that the effects that that took on me can be changed, i have been battling bulimia for about 10 years, been in a troubling relationship and have had fears of facing the reality that this really has happened to me and that it needs to be dealt with........she is truly an angel, whenever i have a problem she seems to be online and able to help me see the better side of whatever the problem is......she has truly given me strength. VICTORIA IS AN ANGEL..........(in disguise). i hope that by visiting her web site someone elses life can be changed as mine is.

"Keep me as the apple of thy eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings." (Psalm 17:8) This reminds me so much of Vickie. She always looks at people as the apple, beautiful and lucious. She also takes each and everyone she meets under her wing. She is a beacon in the world of darkness and shame where so many have been lost. Vickie, "May God carry you on angels wings forever"

Victoria is an inspiration to all survivors, with her Love, Caring, & Understanding, she has helped me in so many ways and taught me it is ok to open my heart and let others in. I have so much admiration for Victoria. I never thought I would begin to heal, but with her help she taught me all things are possible when it comes to healing. You just need to believe in yourself. I love you Vic

Vic, Thank you for creating an atmosphere where folks can gather and talk (Or not talk in my case). It's a nice feeling to have a place where we can feel safe, and loved.

Victoria has been a great source of comfort to me. My life has been such a lonely place to be and finding Victoria has been the support I have desperately searched for my whole life. She has made it possible for me to connect with people who have the same problems I have and to let me know, for certain, that I am not alone. The world needs more people like her to help people who have been conditioned not to speak about the pain and suffering in their life. I extend my friendship, my support, but most of all my love to a very precious part of my life. My only hope is that one day I will meet Victoria in person and can give her a great big hug that she so much has earned.

Victoria is one of the kindest and caring people i have ever met. She is the kind of person that would be there for you, for whatever reason if she could. I truly believe that she is an Angel on earth. In her own special way she has touched my life and helped me even when she didnt know she was. God Bless you Victoria :)
Love,
Sue

Love You!

There is so many ways I can describe her that may do her justice. Vic for one is a friend to many of us. She is kind and truly cares for us. All I can say is Vic has been an angel on earth for me. In the years I have known her online she has always been available to listen. I hope those who need a true friend has the opportunity to get to know Vic as I have gotten to know her. Hey Vic, Your one of a kind my friend :o) Thank You for everything :o)
Love Ya

Victoria,
you are one of the kindest, most compassionate people I have ever been fortunate enough to know, online or off. Your words of comfort and encouragement to me are real blessings during a time in my life when I really need them. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, your experiences, and your positive outlook in such a generous and gentle manner. You are a real inspiration to me and to so many others. You are the personification of SURVIVOR, and I plan to follow in your footsteps. (I know there's a long road ahead of me, but I'll get there!) Thank you for sharing your gifts and for believing in the strength and good of us all. :)
Brightest Blessings,

This is for my friend Vic..
There was that day when I had nothing and everything all in one moment....Throughout my life time I have had no one to lean on and then Vic came into my life..One moment..my life changed...She reached out her hand to me when never had I had one to hold..She has become my friend and my angel.. Vic has been there for me many of nights through all of my ups and downs and through all of my issues.I had spent so many nights praying for a light in my life and a direction. When I met Vic and got to know the real woman inside.. I finally for once found the light and my true meaning for why I am here on this earth. I knew in my heart that I was meant to help people somehow in someway but Vic is the reason that I am so sure of what I want to do with my life..No matter which way I do it Vic is the inspiration behind it all. I thank God for her hand to hold and for guiding me to her room. I thank God for knowing how much I needed her in my life and most of all I thank God for allowing angels to find their way on earth so that one day we all know what life is really about..Thank you Vic for my new life..You are my angel..
I love you,
Taunni
Victoria has been a wonderful friend to me words alone cannot express how I feel about her. She believed in me when others wouldn't give me the time of day. She has shown me love that no one ever has and I will be greatful to her all my life because she saw in me what I couldn't see and told me I was going to make it through the hell I was facing and with the help and love she has given I can say I am making it through one day at a time. I just want to say thank you Victoria for caring enough to see that I could make it through. Love,
Karen
