I just found out about this yesterday. 

Vicky & I worked together from Winter - Spring, 2013. Upon hearing about what happened, I remembered her gentle warmness, passion, work ethic, and kindness. I drove her home a couple times, and spending time with her was like being with an old friend - she had a gift at making people feel comfortable, and connected.

I warned her, before allowing her to come into my car, that it was pretty dirty, and when she saw the mess, she said, "HAHA! You are right, it's pretty bad." Normally, I'd take offence to someone telling me my car was gross (even if it was true), she was able to make it into a fantastic joke, and we laughed the whole drive back (about things that were not my gross car ;)). 

 I'm sorry for the loss of this fantastic person from the lives of her family, and friends. The world has also lost this kind, brilliant  person.

I was just starting to get to know Vicky, but I did know that she was simply awesome in every respect. My condolences to everyone who was close to her.

Time has stood still, one year my love
I miss you

I just found out after a beer with Rick and Canty.

May you rest in peace x

Vicky was a great person and one of the best students I ever had at SFU... I just learned of her passing and still cannot believe it. May her hunger for learning and joy of life be an inspiration to us all.

I just heard of Vicky's passing.  I went to elementary school with Vicky.  And I will always remember how the cool, smart girl let me play with her Barbies. I was an odd duck but that did not faze her one bit and back then it meant a lot.  I am sad she did not get to stay here long enough.  People will miss out on how special she could make them feel. We only got to play for five minutes, but it was enough. Sorry Stathi. My heart goes out to you and your folks.

She was a very special lady. We don't know our destiny.....  I wish her family strength.

The light that shines from those who have left here their grief, and love, their unspeakable sadness at the loss of your child still outpouring to you, hopefully is some comfort to those who were/are so close and who loved Vicky so much.  I did not know your daughter, but these words say to me that you did a wonderful job raising her.  She touched so many lives, including mine with her passing, and has left behind a warmth, not a hole, that spreads to embrace even outsiders like me.

My world will truly never be the same without my muse, best friend, amazing woman, poet, writer, actor and the light of my life. I miss here every day and am at a loss without her presence. Dana.

Irene, Nick and Stathi,

We are so sorry for your loss. No words could possibly take away your pain but know that our thoughts are with you.  

Pat, Dennis and Corinna

Dear Irene, Nick and Stathi, We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Vickie's passing; she was a bright and beautiful star.  We send you our deepest condolences for this profound loss.

Nick, Irene, Stathi, 
Shocked and saddened by the loss of Vicky. Our hearts are with you. May you find the strength to deal with your pain and loss. We love you. 
Cindy and Andy

Dear Nick, Irene and Stathi:
For the past month of knowing the loss of your daughter and sister, there hasn't been a day which I do not think of you as a family and what you are going through. After many thoughts, what came to my mind the most is how you would handle your great loss in moving forward. Besides the fact that if any one of us were to pass away before our loved ones, we would certainly want them to be happy in their everyday lives while we are still here. So I thought Vicky, now being an angel, she is probably with all of you and looking over you everyday and would want you all to have a smile on your face and not to be so heartbroken. Hopefully her presence as an angel with you, will give you comfort to carry on. My deepest condolences.
Nick Parente

Dear Marghelis family,
I am heartbroken about your loss.  Those of us who got to know Vicky in her journey in becoming a teacher, at SFU, knew she was a special, remarkable human being.   Her humour, spirit, conviction, and empathy for others always shone through.  She was a gift to her students and she will be greatly missed by all of us.  I got to know her as her module coordinator and had many lovely interactions with her.  I am shocked and saddened by the news of her passing.  My heart goes out to you.
Sincerely,
Catherine Johnson, PDP SFU

Dear Irene and Nick,

Larry and I are shocked to hear of the loss of you lovely daughter Vicky.

There are no words to express the pain of losing a child and our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family. May the memories of all the wonderful times you had with your lovely daughter help you at this difficult time

Our deepest sympathies at this most difficult time.

Dear Irene, Nick and Stathi:

We have just heard of the passing of your wonderful daughter/sister Vicky.  Vicky was such a spark of sunshine, always happy and excited about life.   We always looked foward to seeing her and hearing about her latest plans and what she was going to accomplish next.  You are such a wonderful family and we are so saddened by this news.

Rick and Carol Salway

Dearest Vicky,

I may not have known you as well as some who are mourning your loss, but I still want to let you know that you touched my life and I am so sorry to see you go. Yesterday I went to your funeral to pay my respects to your family and to try and make sense of your passing. Many things in this world do not make sense and the fact that you have passed away so suddenly, and at such a young age, is one of those things that make life at times incomprehensible. 

Your time on this earth had touched me in many ways and I wanted to let you know that I will always remember it fondly. Whenever I visited Cozmos, you were always there with a smile and an open and friendly personality. When I'd run into you in the city, you were always so joyful and outgoing, exuding confidence and kindness. When my mom told me a little while back that you were looking for work in the non-profit sector, I was more than happy to help you as much as I could. I am so glad I had an opportunity to connect with you. In hind site I wish I could have done more. 

My heart aches for the grief your family, your boyfriend, and close friends are going through. It was with great great sorrow I witnessed so much grief yesterday at your funeral. I also witnessed so much love. People really truly loved you. You brought so many people together. It is a testament to what a wonderful person you were. Now that you are in a different place, may you forever rest in peace. May you remain in the memories of those who loved you forever. 

If I could unburden your family's grief by lighting all the candles in the world in your memory I would! I send my love and strength to your family and close friends beautiful Vicky. 


Yours truly,

Miriam (Juriga)

I went to high school with Vicky. Though I didn't know her well, I could tell she was a very vibrant and charismatic person. She was well-liked by many. My sympathies go out to all of her family and friends. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Irene and Nick, I am so deeply saddened to hear about your loss.  Though Vicky and I haven't connected since high school, where we were friends, I always enjoyed getting updates from you about what she was up to.  I will always remember Vicky exactly as written in her obituary - full of life, never taking life too seriously - and always with a contagious smile.  What a huge loss to the world.  May you and your family find peace in this difficult time.  With much love and sympathy, Deni and Laura, Mia and Mateo

Whilst she was among my son's friends, I never happened to meet her. I grieve with you all, and hold my own family and friends all that much closer. My sincerest sympathies.
