It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Vickie Lynn Tapia.

Vickie passed away on Monday October 21st in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Vickie, 45, was a devout Christian, wife, mother, and friend. She loved being outdoors, reading, writing, spending time with her family, and sharing her faith and love of God.

Miss you so much everyday.

I have been trying to avoid this time of year...For the rest of my life Oct. 21st is a day I will dread. That's the day I lost my mommy. I tried to hide from it but I know that it will always come. The leaves changing, the sun shining and the cool autumn weather is just a bad reminder of everything that happened. I can't believe it has been a year. I miss you everyday mom. It hurts me so much not being able to call you when I need your recipes or taking you window shopping. It tears me apart knowing that you won't be there when I get married or have kids. I know you're looking down on me and I know you're proud of who I'm becoming (in Christ). But you are the one who raised me to know Him. Because of my faith I know where you are and it brings me some peace. Even with faith there is a huge empty place in my heart. I love you so much and I can't wait for eternity. Until then....

You are in your glory now Sis, shining brightly and rejoicing with the Angels. That part is glorious to think of...Those left behind will always just long for one more moment with you , one more hug, one more smile, one more opportunity to share something.

Vickie,I Remember The day you came into Our Life,Got there just in time

You a little tiny girl

With lots of black hair every where even on your ears

I smiled and laughed and held you

You just sat and smiled there

I wasn't always there for you

As you grew and grew and grew

Soon you were a teenager
Where the time went no one knew, But Please Remember One Thing I Was So Proud Of The Wife, Mother the Daughter And Loving Niece You Became.. What A Joy You Brought Me And Everyone Around You..And for that I Thank You I Will Miss You Dearly.. But I know We will Meet Again.. Till Then Sleep With The Angels.. Love Aunt Tina

Didn't have the opportunity to meet this young lady in person but we definitely connected in the Spirit. She befriended me on FB a while back and from reading her posts/status I know she had a heart for God and her family/friends. She will be missed by many. God's blessings and comfort to all she connected with. Prayers for you all. With LOVE

If I could write a story
It would be the greatest ever told
Of a kind and loving cousin
Who had a heart of gold

I could write a million pages
But still be unable to say, just how much
I love and miss her
Every single day
