Vincent Anthony Campanile

Hey, Vinnie, It's just Stacy's Mom and that time of year again. Yep, another Christmas without you and Stacy Boy. I know your Mom's heart hurts as much as mine does everytime we realize you are not able to spend the Holidays or any other day with us anymore. But, we take comfort in knowing you are both together in the great scheme of things and God had bigger plans for you both. We just want you to know how much we love and miss you and think of you constantly. Please give each...

I remember you lying on the floor when you were the tiniest baby I'd ever seen. And your freckle-faced, curly headed toddler self amusing Grandpa Tom. We gave you & Christopher shirts for Christmas, and you didn't even complain that they weren't toys instead. And you ate your broccoli. What an amazing kid. I pray your mama's heart can heal a little bit over time, but she'll always miss you. Your father was proud of you too, and your son is adorable.
Love, Aunt Martine

Vincent, I actually wrote this on the 28th, but you know your mom and technology! So I am writing it again. I want to let you know I have heard from Seamus and Arin recently, lots of people have been in touch with me to see how we are doing. Anyway, Vincent you left us too suddenly a year ago. I didn't believe that life could go on without you, but here I am still kicking around. YOU were a wonderful son, father, brother and "sister." (your speech at Chris's wedding. Your friends, family...

Hi Vinnie,

I, like everyone else cannot believe you have been gone from this earth for a whole year already. I replayed the last time I saw you on the evening of December 26th and that you were getting ready to make dinner for your kids and your mom. I always saw nothing but happiness when you spent time with your children. I truly believe you know how much we all miss you and continue to love you. Until we see you again, rest in peace and pray for all of us.

Love,
Terry

Dear Vinnie,
it seems like only yesterday that you and Chris were giving me a hard time and telling me that I better take care of your cousin. I still remember the last time we got to see each other. We were downtown drinking IPAs and celebrating being together and enjoying our last night in AZ. I will always remember you as a great friend and an even better father. Today and everyday we miss you bro.
Matt

Vinnie,

I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I cannot believe it's been a year since you left us and went to Heaven. Our recent visits to Tucson have been fun, but we are really missing you being there and all the fun and laughter you would bring. Please continue to watch over us. We love you and miss you everyday.

It was a year ago today that we went to IHOP. Nicky and Eden were telling me about their Christmaas presents and what they had done. Your face was beaming when Eden told you about her grades and plans for the future. Nicky was excited about spending the weekend shooting cans. Vincent I am so glad that I got to take you to Tucson Boys Choir, our visit to Sonic for lime ades afterward. We all have a lot of happy memories of our times together. I miss you my Vinny Boy. Love Grandma Mary

Hey Vinnie:

This is Stacy's Mom checking in on the two of you. I know you and Stacy are probably having a good time together misbehaving on a regular basis and that Heaven has never been the same since the two of you have arrived there.
I miss my Stacy every day the way I know that your Mom misses you, Vinnie, but if you both had to go so young, I am happy that the two of you are together. It makes my heart smile when I think about that.
The Holidays are especially difficult...

Hey Vinnie,
It still hurts to think about not being able to see you anymore, knowing you have passed away. Writing this I have to admit it true.
This is the Vinnie I knew...A little curly haired boy that liked to dance and shake his fanny; a boy with an angel's voice when he sang; a boy that loved to play basketball, even taking on his Uncle John and dad; a cousin our girls looked forward to seeing when visiting, bringing friends to show off their family in Tucson; a giver of crazy...
