Malvern, AR Sunday, January 5, 2014 To Paul. Chris, Will, Sarah and your families, I just learned of Vickie's death today, and there is no way to express my sorry for all of you. Vickie was a very special person, so full of life, so fun, so devoted to her family, and to all the children she helped raise. I was just thinking that she probably didn't even know how many children whose lives she had touched, both as baby sitter, as well as working with the baseball leagues, rodeo, and on and on. You name it, if there was anything she could do for anyone, she was always ready to give of her time and energy to benefit her own children, and countless others. I was happy to call her my friend, and Jacky Burt, my late husband thought the world of her. My son, Jason Burt loved her, as did my daughter, Jennifer. I pray for ease for your hearts, but I know there will always be an empty spot in your life that she once filled. But, I know she will remain in your hearts forever.Tiffani Burns

She even threw me a birthday party, complete with several friends, pizza, awesome party favors, and a cake containing a barbie doll wearing a pink dress, which was the cake! I couldn't have imagined anything so special! I will always be thankful for her thoughtfulness during that time! I will keep Paul, Chris, Sarah, and Will in my prayers.Robyn McMurry
