Vicki was blessed to be the mother of Ashley for eleven beautiful years.  Vicki was Ashley's protector, advocate and friend.  Vicki's stories and smiles were centered around Ashley.  Whether it was sharing stories of them baking, gardening, snowmobiling or preparing for 4-H events, Vicki enjoyed and gleaned so much pleasure from this precious time they spent together.  Their biggest bond as mother and daughter was around their shared love for horses and their amazing friends and extended family.
