Dearest Uncle Vince,
I am so sad to be writing this as you are now in Heaven resting in peace. I am going to miss you so much and your passing has left a huge hole in all of our hearts.
You had such an incredible heart, the best laugh, and were just so good and kind. You helped me in so many ways growing up. You were with me and helped me choose my first car. You and Carol spent so many Easters with us and helped make them so special. I will always remember you and Carol making the trip to Ireland for our wedding. You were a big hit, and I was so proud to have you there as my sweet, handsome Uncle.
I will miss you forever but know that you have a special bed in Heaven. Rest In Peace Uncle Vince you will be truly loved and missed forever.
Love Jill, Des, Olivia, and Dessie

THERE
Where is the heart? Home?
Where is home? Here? There?
Here is home, but a breath in time.
There is home eternal.
In a breath, we will be there.
