25 Mar 10 - 04:42 PM (#2871820) Subject: Obit: Vicki Williams (N Wales) From: My guru always said This news grieves me, but Trefor has asked me to let you all know that Vicki passed away this evening. She'd been taken into hospital on Monday and it had become obvious that Vicki would not be able to fight this any more. I know that Vicki treasured all her Folk Family and appreciated the good thoughts sent to her via the Mudcat. I'm certain that she would have wanted to say goodbye herself, but you all know that. Trefor has expressed a wish that the news of Vicki's passing be spread far and wide so that all their friends are informed as quickly as possible. I know that you will all help with this wish. Sometime soon there will be a musical Celebration of Vicki's Life, that was her wish. And we will make sure that happens, remembering Vicki is a pleasure. Goodbye sweet Vicki, sending love and hugs to Trefor and all their family at this time. Hil xxx |

When it is known where and when we will be celebrating Vicki's life and contribution to Folk Music please can I be emailed, in order to inform my club members, at: chair@conwyfolkclub.org.uk. Thanks. I noticed many of the visitors here knew Vicki only slightly, yet were still moved to write. I think this is a true indication of how Vicki was able to make a lasting connection very quickly. If you want to know more about Vicki, her and Trefor's website is at: www.treforandvicki.co.uk So much more to say and sing - it will be said and sung at the many festivals and clubs where Vicki was known. Tony Franks "All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language; and every chapter must be so translated...As therefore the bell that rings to a sermon, calls not upon the preacher only, but upon the congregation to come: so this bell calls us all: but how much more me, who am brought so near the door by this sickness....No man is an island, entire of itself...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

28 Mar 10 - 10:39 AM (#2873878) Subject: RE: Obit: Vicki Williams (N Wales) From: Merek'n'Dary Trefor has just confirmed that he has now got a venue where we can all celebrate Vicki's life after the funeral on Wednesday 7th April. Details: The Funeral will be held at 1.30pm at: Colwyn Bay Crematorium, Bron y Nant Road, Mochdre Colwyn Bay LL28 4YN Then there is about a half-hour drive to: Denbigh Rugby Club Graig Road Denbigh LL16 5US There are two large rooms and a bar will be provided. No set time limit to finish. Also there is a large carpark if anyone wants to bring campervans or caravans. The Rugby Club has agreed to people staying, provided all is left tidy. As mentioned before if we make this a 'Jacob's Join' - i.e. Bring a plate of food you like and a contribution to the buffet, then Tref doesn't have to worry about catering. Let's give Vicki the send off she deserves! Derek and Mary |

28 Mar 10 - 04:16 PM (#2874097) Subject: RE: Obit: Vicki Williams (N Wales) From: Merek'n'Dary Trefor's friend Stuart, who has arranged the rugby club venue says it will not be possible for campervans or caravans to go to the crematorium, but has confirmed that they can stay at the rugby club the night before - best to get there before 10.00 pm while the staff are still there. It would help to have some idea of how many vans are coming i.e campervans and caravans so that arrangements for transport from the rugby club can be arranged either via car sharing or if necessary a mini bus/coach. As I am not on mudcat as much as she is Hils has kindly agreed that she will collate this information for Stuart so please can anyone intending to take their campervan or caravan send Hils a PM, also when you might be arriving. Many thanks for this, Mary |

It would probably be best to let me know about vans, arrival & transport within the next couple of days if at all possible. If there's a question of hiring a bus it would probably need to be sorted before Easter & I'll be a bit busy next weekend. Many thanks to Merek'n'Dary for liaising with Stuart (and thanks to Stuart too) and letting us know about the arrangements. Candle lit for Vicki and sending love to Trefor. Hil xx |

28 Mar 10 - 06:44 PM (#2874231) Subject: RE: Obit: Vicki Williams (N Wales) From: GUEST,Charlotte Peters Rock It was a shock to hear about Vicki dying. I often think of her - and Trefor - particularly since I heard she was ill. Missing Vicki will be a feature of many events, for many people - including me - in the future. Hugs to Trefor. Warm Hugs. Look after yourself. Whilever life goes on, memories remain for comfort. Perhaps, Trefor, you have been lucky. The sad thing is, that a run of luck does not last forever. It fades - and returns.

29 Mar 10 - 05:47 PM (#2875071) Subject: RE: Obit: Vicki Williams (N Wales) From: bubblyrat Karen & I would most likely have two seats available for lifts to Mochdre; it all depends on whether or not the Rugby Club lets us put the tent up---it's a very long way to drag a big caravan at 45 mph,and we have a band "gig" the night before, so the caravan option is looking increasingly less likely.

I'll make sure of that. Vicki and Trefor have been several times, and stayed in our little caravan or in theirs and joined in as only good mates can.

I hope this won't cause any problems for anyone but they were very definite about it!! Just spoken to Trefor too, he's been busy with organising & communicating as you can imagine. He's got a good friend in Stuart who has been helping him keep on track with his positive attitude. He's so glad for all the messages here from so many good friends made in the folk world over the years. Apparently car parking at the crem is a little limited, so car-sharing will be the way to go. Many thanks to Ann & Dave, Rhiannon & Mick, Karen & Roger & Sue Jones for offering to give lifts to those with campers. Anyone else in need please let me know! |

They are truly one of the couples that there is no "edge" to and they have both been an inspiration to me. I will miss seeing them together and "chewing the cud" with Vicki.

We have been singing songs for her, listening to Vicki and looking at Richard Atkins' videos of her this weekend and she has been very much with us.

I did not know Vicki or Trefor, but I could tell that Vicki was well-loved. Vicki's music played through the stereo in the lounge and on the "survivor's night", Richard conjured up some video from Miskin and a few videos of past Easters at Old Keepers. Vicki was in much of the footage and her singing and humour came through quite well. I wish I could have known her. I know that many are gathered as I write this to celebrate Vicki's life and to recount many memories, stories and most of all her music. Tonight at Cottingham Live! I will sing for Vicki. In peace, Debra Cowan |

It was also a celebration of Trefor's future. He showed such strength throughout the day and sang and played beautifully in the evening.There is no doubt that Trefor will come through this and continue to grow on the Folk scene. Love you mate.

Hearing Trefor sing really was quite a moment. Mix of happy and sad all in one. Some other lovely singing tributes to Vicki, it was lovely to be with you all. Thank you, Liz xxx |
