I heard from Vickie h...
and the news isn't good. Vickie is not doing well and will be bringing hospice in very soon. She was told she has about two weeks. Vickie took a fall in June and broke her hip. She spent four wks in the hospital but said she is happy to be back home now where she is comfortable sleeping in a hospital bed.
Vickie wanted me to tell everyone that she loves and misses everyone....and that she hopes to post in the next few days. But I'm not sure she will feel up to it? I let Vickie know how many of you were asking about her...and how much we love and care about her. Leave it to Vickie to be thinking of us at a time like this...but that is just one part of Vickie that makes her so very special. Please keep Vickie and Cap in your thoughts and prayers.
