i am so sorry for this terrible loss and this most tragic time for your family. of course i also knew vicki from the arts community – and she was a force therein. she painted for the en plein air event on numerous occasions and her art (as brilliant as she was), always brought in a good bid. she will be missed by so many – a reflection of the many lives she touched. all the very best to you in this most devastating time.

Dear Dodds Family. This online tribute by Tamara De La Vega only scratches the surface of what kind of person she was to her friends and community, and how much we will miss her. Though incomparable to your family’s loss so many share, in part, your grief. It is my hope you will find a feeling of support in this.Again, my deepest sympathies, Col http://doppleronline.ca/huntsville/farewell-vicki-dodds-you-will-be-missed/

Mr. Dodds and family, I am so very shocked and saddened to hear that Mrs. Vicki Dodds has passed from this life, yet I am so grateful for the times I had with her. As a former student of St. Dominic Catholic Secondary School, I had the honour of having some wonderful conversations with Vicki, and in more recent years, chatting with her after Mass. I am grateful to God for blessing us with Vicki and her dedication in working closely with our Catholic education and with her work outside of school, including literature and the arts.
On behalf of my family, I would like to offer my most heartfelt condolences, and please be assured that she and you will be remembered in my prayers.
May Our dearest Lady, Mary sing the soul of Vicki to the bosom of Christ Jesus, there to remain in eternal peace. +

I read that you had gone to be with your Dad Vicki but I still cannot believe it. We had so many great times at Beverley and later Downsview and you were so very happy when you and Ted became a couple. We have not seen each other for years but spent many hours talking on the phone and I was glad to have been there for you in the tough times. You are a vibrant special person to so many. You will be so missed by so many. Love you my “KB”” always. “

My deepest heartfelt condolences to your family. Vicki was a very bright light in my life and I will miss her beyond what words can express. She was an incredibly special person with a seemingly unlimited capacity to give, nurture, support, and encourage. We tackled many a project together and I can account that their successes would not have been accomplished without her. She has left a great impression on my life. It am privileged to hold such great memories of her.
