Her price is far above rubies; her value immeasurable; not determined by material things.

A queen in her own right, she embodied dignity, elegance, and confidence. She carried her maternal grandmother's name with pride, dressing and presenting herself with stately grace. She and her sisters shared an extraordinary bond, loving each other fiercely and royally. They were truly the blueprint for what sisters should be. For many years she and Aquilla were thought to be twins because they dressed alike, they were the best friends and were inseparable...Quilla and Vickie!
