Dear Gary and Vicki's family. I've struggled with what to say to you. I think I know now. You beloved wife, mother, grandmother and one of finest women I have ever know is on the the wings of angels. With her flight to heaven the angels are singing and Our Heavenly Father has His arms open wide to that place which she aspired to and the place we all hope meet her. With love in my heart for your loss, but hope for the day when we can all celebrate together, I wish you peace and comfort. With love and gratitude for the chance to have Vicki in my life, Marcia Hammill
Dear Gary,
Please know you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers as we are so sad to learn of your loss of Vicki. She was such a fine example of all the goodness of the Spring Lake, Ferrysburg, and Grand Haven area...as a parent, wife, and wonderful community leader. There are just a small handful of people of her caliper that bless our community each generation and Vicki was certainly in that category. With our deepest sympathies,

While not knowing Vicki personally, we are deeply saddened by her untimely death. Jeanne and I have had a long and friendly association with the VerPlank and Bruhn Family. Shirlee Achterhof was a classmate of ours at GHHS And we know the sadness she must feel. I worked with Vicki's Dad at Oldberg Mfg and growing up in Spring Lake, I knew many of the Verplank Family members and worked for them as well. Our lives have been enriched by having the Bruhn and VerPlank families in our lives.

Gary & Family,
Vicki's smile warmed everyone's heart and she always made everyone feel important. Her love for life and family was obvious and contagious. She just made you feel good! Her life was cut short, but try not to cry because she is gone...rather smile because you all had so many wonderful years together. I am thankful to have known Vicki. Our love and prayers are with you all.
