Vincent Aaron Arukwe

Vin Vin,
This is your pal Theo-Theo writing in your remembrance. You know God has always impacted his words of knowledge, visions, prophecies ,signs and wonders of what is to take place in the spirit but in your situation he kept your departure, your return home to him secret from us. We were together October 15th, 2011 at the Events Cultural Centers- the last night out before your demise. There is something in spirit that remains remarkable and unexplaineable about that night, how you embraced and hugged me ,and asked of my family with deep regards. I now realized, that on that day , you meant to bid your best friend farewell from this world; I wish I knew that will be the last time we will meet in flesh. Our friendship was crafted and put together by God himself in 1981 when you moved to Raleigh from Baltimore and we met in a party at Parkwood Apartment off Avent Ferry Road, and we have been friends ever since ,until your death. Vincent you are the best and your life is a blessing, you may have died, but your person ,your character was made to last forever. I thank God for the privilege of knowing you well, and sharing your life. I am confused and missing you greatly, but thankful to God for the gift of you as my friend, who turned out to be more like a brother. As we mourn your passing, I am consoled by the legacy you left behind and ideals you lived for and the gap or vacuum you left will be difficult to fill. Vincent you are a role model, honest, sympathetic, successful, intelligent, quiet and accomplished but feel not in competition with anyone. I'm filled with questions but who am I to question Gods will. I am consoled as I see some qualities of you in your family. As devastating the news of your death has been to me-stunned, overwhelmed with grief- I know I loved you but God love you more, I know you are in a better place. I can write forever about Vincent. Kind, wonderful person , good bye my friend- God be with you- til we meet again
Theo Nwachukwu & family

Vincent,
You will always be part of the Storm soccer team. We all miss you.

My dearest sweetheart,
I miss you so much! It is difficult to believe that it's been a year and you still have not come home. Wow, death is really powerful to have kept you away from your family this long!!!
It has been difficult. However,God have been taking great care of us. Lord Almighty,the father of the fatherless, husband of the widow has taken over our home and guiding me and our children to excel in all things. You will be so proud!
The love we shared is helping me and the kids, thank you for loving me so much and watching over us even now that you are not with us physically.
God is Faithful and has shown His Goodness and Love and protected us always!
Rest in peace my Sweetheart.
Love,
Queen

Dear Daddy,
Things have been very great here. At the Y we did the We Build People Campaign as volunteers and it was great. We got a new console and my birthday passed. I did we'll on my report card starting middle school. Thank you for all you have done

Love David

Sweetheart,
I can't believe that it's been a year since you left us on earth to be with the Lord in heaven. It has been difficult and challenging. However, your loving presence around us has been our comfort and strength. Our children are doing well.
God took over and has been taking care of me and our children! I thank God for His faithfulness, grace, favor and protection.
My love, continue resting in perfect peace until we meet again.
