Not sure what to say?

Cindy, Jerrod, Jessica & family;
We were so sad hear about Vance. Please know we love you & are praying for you. Really loved what you said; Jessica - that you were a little jealous that your Dad would see Reagan & her little girl before you would. But what’s really wonderful, is that you will ALL be rejoicing & praising Jesus together some day (pretty soon;). Disappointed that I can’t come this time - but I am so happy to be able to donate to the the “While We’re Waiting”...

We think of you and send you blessings and encouragement from Austria

Cindy and family, I’m so sorry for your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Praying for all of you!

Mr Vance didn’t have to help us in SHS baseball but he did in his free time. Hope all is well J&J. Miss Cindy

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

1972 classmate Vance will be remembered by the Andy Coleman family.

Vance was such a great guy, friend and classmate. I am so very sorry
