Vickie Echols Support Fund

David Echols lost his fight to Pulminary Fibrosis on Saturday, July 16th.  He was the loving, supportive husband of Vickie Echols for almost 42 years. Together their foundation was faith, family and generocity to others.  He was her encouragement and best friend all the way to his last hours as he insisted Vickie attend the Pampered Chef National Conference in Chicago.  It was at this conference just a few days ago that Vickie had to take an emergency medical flight back to Vidor, TX but unfortunately he passed just before she arrived home.  She was unable to say goodbye.  
Vickie has been not only dedicated to caring for David but also a committed part of our Pampered Chef Family for over 9 years.  This job has allowed her to be flexible, work from home and still be his #1 caregiver.  
Unfortunately, as his death was not anticipated so soon, along with the large medical bills, we are asking for donations to help offset the cost of his funeral, to put towards his medical bills and living expenses for Vickie until she can get her affairs in order to resume her business.
Vickie has always embraced the Pampered Chef mission statement of bringing families together as she refers to her Pampered Chef team as family.  Vickie is the most gracious, humble and kindhearted woman who would never ask from others but would give all she had with a smile on her face.  We hope you will consider paying it forward during this difficult time to ease the burdens and allow her time to grieve.
