First time I visited Vicky’s home in Virginia Beach was for her wedding in the 60’s. The house was located on “Bayberry Lane”. At the time I did not know that they made soap out of bay berries. The berries are very small, about the size of green peas. You have to boil a lot of bay berries to get a bar of soap. I do not think I ever asked Vicky if she ever made any soap, but she probably knew how. I will miss her giving me a hand for this sort of stuff.
You will be sadly missed. I loved and cherished our visits. You were kind, loving and always had a positive upbeat attitude. Knowing you was a true blessing. I love you. Rest In Peace.
