Vickie Bare Obituary

I have know Vickie for 45 years. We attended school together from 1st grade through high school graduation. Se had a wonderful grade. smile & an inner beauty that I will surely miss.

I'm going to try to attach a photo of Vickie in the 2nd grade. Look closely, the smile hasn't changed one bit.

God Bless.

I met Vickie at a Children's Ministry conference several years ago. She was the most encouraging, talented, "on fire for the Lord" person I met at the conference. She helped many, including me, rekindle our enthusiasm for WRM! Our church has been using the Workshop Zone curriculum and we love it. It is the best curriculum we have ever used.
I am very sorry for your loss.

Dear Greg,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids. We will always remember Vickie laughing and sparkling! We are so sorry for your loss.

Dear Greg, Travis and Chelsea and all of your family and Vickie's,

No words can tell you how sad we are to hear of Vickie's death.

She was loved by all and she is without a doubt, basking in God's love in heaven. The wonderful memories we have of Vickie will be forever etched in our hearts.

We love you guys,

Dearest Greg, Travis and Chlesea- My heart aches for you. I am so very sorry for your loss. Vickie was my "radiation buddy" and I loved her the first moment we met. I have told her that I could see God in her eyes and was so comforted by her friendship. The world seems different to me today. She will be missed but her legacy is one of such love and compassion that she will live on in that sense. Cancer's "gift" to me was Vickie and I am forever changed for having known her. I wish you God's blessings and comfort today and always. Love, Pam Kasbohm

I will always think of Vickie as a light, God's light on this earth! It has been my pleasure and privilege to have known her, and to have had her as my life-long friend! My thoughts and prayers are with you, Greg, Travis and Chelsea.
I love you,
Marty Hook

I had the honor and privilege of interning under Vickie for two summers, and working closely with her on a volunteer basis for a year and a half afterward. She was such an inspiration to me, both in life and faith. Vickie has forever impacted my life, and I will never forget her. The way that she faced down cancer and had such unerring faith in God is a demonstration to everyone on how to live life. My thoughts, prayers, and heart are with Greg, Chelsea, and Travis.

My thoughts and prayers are with Greg and his family.

I cannot tell you what Vickie meant to my children and I. Always a possitive attitude, smile and a hug for a sad face....that was Vickie. My family and I are comforted by the fact she had so much faith and is with the Lord, out of pain.
Our heart goes out to your family. Vickie will live forever through all that knew her and were blessed to have her in their life. My deepest sympathies on her passing.

Vickie was a creative life artist, who daily created extraordinary paintings with swirls of God colors throughout. She was such a blessed part of the Kingdom gallery, there for us all to appreciate and stand and learn from in wonder. And each of us would walk away with our own take, or own heart impression, an everlasting effect from an everloving woman. It was as if she took the color dripping brush from God's hand and made her mark on each of our lives' canvases. Living and creating and nurturing the will of God and painting into us all.
Our embrace of love to Greg, Travis, Chelsea, their extended family and friends of our beloved YaYa sister.

Forever YaYas,

I have nothing but warm memories of Mrs. Bare, and nothing but fondness for her family. You've all been my friends for years and my heart goes out to you. You're in my prayers.

What though the radiance which was once so bright,
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour,
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind."

"Ode: Intimations of Immortality," by William Wordsworth

My Heart goes out to all the family and freinds of Miss Vickie.We have lost a great soldier in the fight for Christ. I know that she would want us to continue on with the fight and not forget the greatest of them all the children.I know that when Vickie arrived in heaven she was was not only given but taken charge of all the children in heaven because no one could ever be as caring for a child as her. I will miss you and never forget you. SPOTTER MAN.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

May Vickie's divine spark sustain her very loved family members eternally. What an honor to have known this precious daughter of God.

Greg, Travis & Chelsea,
Our hearts were broken when we heard the news about Vickie. We want you to know how much we're praying for all of you. Even though we haven't seen you in years, we have fond memories of our friendship & loved your wife & Mother very deeply.
Love,
Sue, Walt, Nicole & Matthew Rakowich

May everyone who loved her always remember her energy, enthusiasm and excitement when it came to her passion of sharing Christ. This woman touched my life and my very soul...I will MISS her being on this earth and will daily look forward to seeing her in heaven. God bless her family whom she loved dearly and all of her friends who don't know how they will ever get along without her here. Rest in peace Velveteen Rabbit. Love, E
