To the family,
Vince was a very special special out going person. He always always had something to say about anything. That laugh was tooooo much!! God loved Vince and called him home. No more suffering or pain. Remember the good times and memories that were shared. Vince is in heaven looking down on us saying see you later. He is now one of the angels. God makes no mistakes and is still in control. Blessings!!
