Victoria was adopted from Russia in 2004 at the age of 4 with her brother Andrei, age 3.  She showed great determination, courage & positive attitude in traveling to a new country with strangers (her new parents!), learning a new language and culture.  She tackled her cancer journey with those same traits.  Victoria was diagnosed at age 15. She was a passionate volleyball player and was a year round player until her stroke in 2014.  She always showed determination in her fight.  Spending time with her 3 siblings and parents was one of her favorite things to do.  She will always be remembered for saying 'thank you' and doing kind deeds for her family and friends. Her faith in God kept her strong. Believe in Him & Be Victorious.
