Here we are again, nineteen years later and I can still hear that awful phone call. So much has changed so you passesd, but not the pain and ache. I wish everyday that I could get a phone call or one of you bear hugs. I miss you and think of you all the time, that will never change. I love you
Love always Lulu

Well it's hard to believe it's been 16 years. Not a day goes by without me thinking of you. As you know, Gabrielle has grown up into a beautiful woman. She has worked hard and I'm sure has made you very proud. Everyone misses you more than words can say. Whenever we get together there is always a story about you that pops up. They say that time heals all. That may be so, but it doesn't lessen the loss I feel for you every day. Love you and miss you so much.

In 2005 I was on a rooftop in New Orleans on military duty during the Hurricane Katrina relief effort, when my cell phone rang and I learned that Vinny had died. Because of the ongoing relief mission, I wasn't able to get back for the memorial services. I'll never forget the feeling of loss that day. I was five years old when I met Vinny. I had just moved into the neighborhood, Vinny walked over to my yard to say hello and we instantly became friends. He was my best friend during childhood and through high school and afterwards. I could always count on Vinny to be there. That's the type of Friend Vinny was. He had a heart of gold. We had great times together. Whether it was having "pear wars" with kids from other neighborhoods (literally throwing pears at each other from the pear trees that grew in the yards), jumping our bikes off ramps imitating Evel Knievel, building and racing go-carts, or talking on our CB radios, Vinny was my partner in mischief. We had a great childhood growing up together. On this 16th anniversary of the terrible day that Vinny left this world, I want to say, "I miss you my friend. I miss your smile, your laughter, the crazy mischief we got into and the way you made everyone laugh." The world is not the same without you.

Vinny,
You have missed so much. We all miss you. I remember so much about you, laughing, feeling safe, ballsy, and most of all your hugs. Love you so much and miss you always. Love Lisa

It's been 15 long years since you've been gone. Not a day goes by without me thinking of you and all that you are missing. I wish you were here. I will share memories of you as long as I live. There are so many stories funny and sad. The pain of loosing never goes away, but the joy of having you in ours lives will live on forever. I love you and miss you so much.

Happy Birthday Vinny. I guess you got the best birthday day present ever.... Ma. I know that you and dad will take good care of her. Tell her I got her message about sleeping in her bed instead of the pull out couch. Love you and still miss you more than ever.

Hi Vin,
I just can't tell you how much you are missed by everyone. We're having some difficulties, but like always, we'll get by with the help of God. I think Chrissy said it best, Gab has grown up so beautifully and smart. You have so much to be proud of, and she has a lot of "mothers/fathers" that watch over her to make sure she stays on the right road. Miss you so much, can't write it enough, will be back and 'visit' with you again. Love you so much.

Hi Vin! Thinking about you a lot today, really wish you were here, things are a little rough these days. Your girl needs her big, strong daddy. I'm sure you know your Mom and my Mom are having a rough time right now and I wish you were here to help Gabrielle through it. Oh heck even I could use one of those hugs right now! But, don't you worry she'll get through it, she knows you're watching out for her...Isn't she beautiful? Didn't she grow up so perfectly? Is she everything you knew she would be? We had a lot of help. You know that saying "It takes a village"? Well that village has been family and they've all looked out for her over the years and helped her become the amazing young woman that she is today. Be proud Vin, be so proud of her because I am so very proud! She is the best thing that ever happened to you and I! Miss you!

Hey Cuz, I know the time will fly by before we are all together again but I gotta tell ya, I miss you every single day. You'd be so proud of your daughter. I was wanting for the days I could bust them on you like you did with me when mine were her age! Man did we have some good laughs. You're missing out on some good times here but what do we know, we're most likely the ones missing out on good times where you are! I just wanted to drop a note. When I saw Gabbie write to you today, I couldn't help myself. See you eventually but til then, know we all miss you.

Hi Daddy, I am just stopping by because I am writing a paper about you for my English class. Obviously I would love to be writing about something that you could physically read and laugh with me about, but unfortunately those aren't the circumstances. I love and miss you more than anyone. xoxo

Hey Vinny, Happy belated birthday thought about you all day. Talk about you alot, not just on your anniversary or birthday. Ok need some help with that "other" matter you were going to take care of for me. I know you must be working on it, just a little anxious LOL Miss you so much, most of all I miss all the comments about movies that you've watched and then you'll play them out when you're down Ma's. You were so funny. Well have to go to work I'm sure I'll be back. Love you!!

I miss hearing Vinnie tell his stories. No one could tell a story like he did. My favorite story was the one about him helping his father shingle the roof. By the end of the story his father was chasing him with a hammer and he was yelling "Dad tell the voices No." I still laugh just remembering it. He was a big guy with a big heart to match. My hop rest in the promises of Jesus Christ that we will all be reunited again, until then I will continue to miss him very much.

He was and still is a great man. Looked big and bad but had the biggest heart than anyone. I will never forget his laugh and smile. Love you Uncle Vinny!!!
I know you see her but just a reminder to look out for us too

How do you put your heart into words? I can't find them. A piece of me was ripped out 7 years ago. The everyday phone call with the "joke of the day" stopped instantly. I miss the "Kindred Spirit" that we shared. Though cousins, we were as close as any brothers could be.
My only consolation is knowing you will be there to greet me when it is my time.
You would be so proud of your daughter Vinnie. She is growing into a fine young woman. Your whole family misses you more than you could ever know. Your Mom, stoic as ever, holds you in her heart like a precious jewel. Your sisters, brothers and nieces and nephews even, whenever I'm around, within a few minutes the conversation would turn to you. Some how, no matter what was happening you'd hear "Remember when Vinnie...." Or, "How about that time Vinnie...."
All I can tell you is I know what they feel because I share their feelings. I think of you every single day. I miss you and I'm angry. I'm angry because my thoughts of you haven't subsided; my longing to hear your laugh is as strong as ever; My regret at the tumult; the "off-balance" your leaving has caused in my life, and mostly because my heart is still...broken.
September 4, 2012

Can't express how sad I'm feeling today. Can't stop thinking of you. It's so hard sometimes to write what I feel about you. I know that you knew how I felt and it's not necessary for me to write it. I'm having a hard time today and I guess I'll just say for now, I MISS YOU SO MUCH!! I'll be back later when I can stop sobbing. I love you.

Okay to it's offical, not only do you have your face on t-shirts, bike rally magazines, your tatoed back also in a magazine but now you have made celeberity status. You have a nod on a CD. I have a friend who is a professional singer (Mark Sheldon) who sings "My Way" and makes me cry everytime. He knew what it meant to me so he put a little special nod to you and to Ma on his new CD. So, as everyone can see, you make be gone from earth but you are always going to be in everyone's heart,even perfect strangers. By the way, he looks so much like you that it's scary.
Love you,
Lulu

It's hard to believe that 50 years ago I was telling Ma to put you back and now I'm wishing there was a way God could put you back on earth where you belong. I miss you more than words can say. Happy 50th Birthday.
Love you always,

Vinny,
It's been awhile. You know how much I'm thinking of you and miss you. Another Labor day has come and gone, and it's just not the same without you. It really hurts, but then I think of you and your laugh and it becomes easier.
As you know everyone is fine, and they all miss you...Can't tell you how 'empty' it feels to write to you instead of hearing/seeing you in person. I know you are in a better place and you're happy, but it still stinks for us down here.
Writing on your birthday or anniversary sometimes isn't an option it hurts too much, but you know how much I talk and think about you. This is only for the people to read and remember you and the good times you gave everyone you knew.
We're keeping close tags on Gabby, she's such a beautiful young lady. She would NEVER leave the house if you were alive. She's growing up so fast. We're all helping Chrissy with her, she's a handful.
Well gotta go to work, work on that request I gave you okay?
All my love,
Kristina Hale

Vinny,
Happy Birthday....you are missed so much words can't express how much.
Sometimes I just think that you're in NH and we just haven't seen you and we will when we go to Ma's house. But then it clicks in and the pain of loosing you too soon hits and I cry. But sometimes they are good tears because I think of you and laugh. Right now, I'm feeling a little sad because I want to feel your "bear" hug around me. I miss you so much....
Well, just wanted to say Happy Birthday and I miss you!!
Don't forget about the lottery LOL.....
September 5, 2010
Vinny you can never imagine how much you are missed every single day. I know you are our angel now,still doesn't make it any easier. Things you have missed, and times we all wish you were with us. I feel you often. all my love cuz, Lisa

At times you wanted to hate him, he was Vinny just being Vinny, but for the most part he was like my older brother I never had, the one who always looked after me when I was a kid and thru my teen and adult life, and for that I thank him, you are truly missed.

So I wanted to write to something and just wasn't sure what. I began reading all the entries in the guest book.
Vinny you made people laugh and feel happy. I believe we all have a purpose and I think your's was to bring a little bit of light and laughter to all you met. You did just that. So many pages of not only praises but also gratitude for being there when so many needed a helping hand, a shoulder and most important a good laugh. Vinny, you are missed by so many because you touched so many.
Rest in Peace

5 years, still seems so recent. We still miss you each and everyday. I think I have inherited "Vinnyitis". I can't help but reciting lines of a movie right before they say it. Makes everyone nuts. Gabrielle is amazing. I'm sure you are very proud. Please come and visit in my dreams...it has been too long. I know you are at peace, but I still wish you were here with us. I love you!
Love Always,

It's been 5 years. Unbelieable. Ma is here with me now and we were at Eddie's for Maranda's birthday party. Of course you were on everyone's mind. We miss you and love you.

Happy birthday.....I miss you so much. Talk about you a lot and it's good for the soul...but not on my eyes.
What else can I say about how much I miss you. You know I think you went too soon, but I'm so glad God had better plans for you. It doesn't get easier with time, you just get use to it.
Well off to work, you haven't given me enough help in winning the lottery, but I'm still waiting..LOL
Love to you and say hi to Dad for me.

Friday was a really bad day for a lot of people. Where ever I go there is someone who knows you. You are so missed by so many people. I know I miss you every minute of every day. My thoughts are always with you. I can sometimes hear you voice telling me something. Sometimes it brings a smile to my face. Sometimes I cry. It's good to have so many memories that you can pass on and share with everyone else.
I love you.
Love always,

Hello,
Well, a bottle and a half of wine later...I think I am ready. That commercial has been on a bunch of times..."it's the most wonderful time of the year...". I crack up every time I see it. I still remember when it came on in your apartment and you pointed out how funny it was. I never paid attention to it before. I could fill a book with things like that. Final Destination is on. It still kills me with the girl and the bus. You loved that! So, I hope you are happy and I pray for you to visit me in my dreams. I know you see all that is going on. Gabrielle is so beautiful, but I'm sure you know that. Quite the teenager, but still loving and repectful. Well, I love you and miss you. Still wishing you were here everyday. I added some pictures to the photo gallery. I hope you like them. I have the one of us, with you as the Hulk right by my desk. I look at it everyday. Lexi is staying over tonight. She wrote a message to you. I know she was so young when you left all of us, but she still remembers you and misses you. It kills me that she wrote that Maranda's party was this weekend. I don't think she understood that her birthday party four years ago was the last time most of us saw you. You were so great that day. You didn't make Danielle or me cry once! It's almost like you knew. We cry for you all the time now. Wish you were here, busting them on us. I'd give just about anything. I miss you.
Love you always,
Lyn

Hi Uncle Vinny,
I miss you so much! Gabby is so pretty. I Love her alot. I love you. Do you see Papa John?
You are so cool! I think about you alot! In a few days it is Maranda's birthday. Gabby is getting so big! Every time when we go in the car Juliana asks Mama if she can see the picture of you and gives you a kiss and she loves you!
I use to cry about you!
I love you so much,
Love Always,

Today Ryan and I had a drink in honor of our dearly missed friend. Vinny will always be in my heart and will always well up my eyes when I think about you as they are now. I've truly never missed anyone in my life more than you Vinny, I am honored that you were, and forever will be my friend. P.S. I told the story today about when you called me at 6:30 A.M. and woke up my wife to find out what we were going to do for lunch. It made allot of people laugh, like you always made us ..

Hey Vin,
I can't believe it's been 4 years. Not a day has gone by that I haven't thought of you. Mark and I still laugh on a daily basis and it usually starts with "Remember the time Vinny...". You always made me laugh no matter how bad things were. Until we meet again Be Cool.

Hi Vinny,
Tomorrow is the day God took you...but I think of you often, which I'm sure that you know. Can't believe it's been 5 years.
Hey thanks for the "help" with the TV it's gone and we got the new one up without any problems. Now could you work on the lottery?
Gabrielle is growing up so fast and so much, she's just beautiful and she's so good for Ma. We all love her so much...she such a good kid, young lady. Boy what a body, maybe it's a good thing you're not here, she wouldn't be able to date til she's 30 if you were here. And even then it might be a problem
I work with this girl Gwen and she lost her brother David at a young age (24) car accident. We often talk about our brothers at work and end up crying, but good tears. I'm sure he's up there with you, you both have so much in common. We compare notes and see how much alike you are. He's the one with tatoos all over like you. Well it's so good to relieve some of that built up stress, and talking about our brothers give us both relief.
This weekend isn't the best one for me, and I'm sure for all of us, I just miss you so much and just want to have you hug me again. You made me feel safe even though you were younger....you always made me feel good. I miss you...
Just so you know, you still are my favorite, but you know this don't you.
Well gotta go to work, work on the lottery will you, so I don't have to go to work. LOL
Tell Dad I miss him too, I'm sure your relationship is better there than it was here with him....love to both
Love & MISS YOU

Hey Uncle Vinny-
We got the best Christmas present ever your finaly home were you belong:) I'm sure you saw but Auntie Tina got Gabby the best gift ever I'm sure she will tell you about it there wasn't a dry eye in the house. I was out with Gabby the other day she is growing up so fast and she is so beautiful she looks so much like you. She is so strong for such a young age. I just wanted you to know that Kaitlyn has some of you in her if you try to watch a movie with her that she has seen she tells you all the good parts. Well could you let Papa and my Dad know we all wish them a very Merry Christmas and we Lvoe them and miss them too. Well it's Christmas morning and I hear Kaitlyn walking around upstairs so I need to go. We LOVE you all and miss you daily.

Hi Vinny
I know you think I forgot about your birthday, well I didn't. I wrote a nice note, but when I corrected it, I forgot to press submit~~therefore I didn't leave that note. Just as well, you know how much we ALL miss you, everyday, not just your birthday. I just wanted to 'check in' with you and just know that you are much better off where your are now than 'struggling' like you were here. I'm sure you can see all of us and know what's in store for all of us. Just please don't let Ma have anymore sorrow, she's too nice to endure anymore. I know God only gives us what he KNOWS we can handle, but it doesn't hurt to have you watch over the family too. How's Dad?? Miss him very much. As you can see we're all doing fine, I know I'm going to hit a BIG jackpot, just don't know when, but I KNOW I will, I just want to hit it while I can still share it with my family and make their lives easier. A little help here won't hurt either. LOL I'm sure that you laugh a lot and you also make others around you laugh, but I still wish you were here to make "us" laugh. I see your picture on my refrigator everyday and miss you. Your picture is in my head and you are always in my heart and I miss you very much. I don't really need a "special" day to tell you. Oh yeah, remember the TV you brought upstairs and all the "fun" we had doing that? Well times have changed a lot and we are getting rid of that TV, but you're not here to take it down and we don't know who can help us~~any ideas??? We can't get a new TV until this one is down. Help
Ok enough for one day tell Dad I miss him and tell Bob he went too soon, even though we didn't make it, I still didn't want to see him gone at such an early age. Love you and MISS YOU SO much!!!
Love

Hi Vinny, I had a dream about you last night. I can't remember all of it, but all I remember is that there was a lot a noise coming from a room. When I opened the door, there you were in the middle of all our male family members laughing up a storm. It looks like not much has changed. Miss you more and more every day.
Love you

Hi Uncle Vinny-
Happy Birthday
I miss and think of you often, it breaks my heart that you are not here with us. You should be so proud of Gabrielle she is growing up to be a beautiful person inside and out. I really hate the fact that you, Papa and my Dad missed out on the best things in my life Kaitlyn (2 and a half) and Tyler (going to be one in a 10 days). Kaitlyn had a picture of you yesterday and asked who you were and I told her it was her Uncle Vnny who is in heaven with her Papa bear (my Dad) and Nana's Papa. She then grabbed my necklace and kissed and said hi to all of you. I think of all the great stories that I can share with my kids about you but it just won't be the same without you being here. I just thank you all for watching out for us on a daily basis making sure were safe and healthy. I often wonder why you were taken from us so young and I have to tink it was for the best. I hope you had a great Birthday and I will always LOVE YOU.

Happy Birthda Vinny,
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I miss you more than words can say. I wish you were her to help raise your beautiful daughter (who by the way is exactly like her father). I'm glad that Ma couldn't put you back because I would have missed out on almost 44 years of memories.
I will always love you.

Uncle Vinny,
I still can not believe it. 3 years? I'll have a dream of you and wake up, and realize, it is not real. That you are really gone. It's not fair. Please keep visiting me in my dreams. I miss you like crazy and think of you all of time. I know you were there the other day. I could smell your colonge! You are welcome to visit anytime! Jona still remembers you. I have to explain to Antonio how special (and how much of a pain) you were. We all miss you and talk about you all of the time. There has been so many times that I wanted to call and share stories with you and ask your advice. I can almost hear you in my ear. I still remember all of the tidbits and life lessons you taught me. I hope you know how special you still are to me. I know that you are happy and content. Doesn't make it that much easier. So much has happened while you've been gone. Marriages, babies, deaths and divorces. Gabrielle has grown like a weed! She is beautiful and smart and loving. I know you are proud. Karoke will never be the same for me! I still see you with the lighter in the background! Please know how much we all love and miss you. Keep visiting. It makes it a little easier. Please tell Papa I love and miss him, too. Jona wants to make sure you are watching out for Sheba. I told her you were watching her with Sampson. I love and miss you everyday.
Love you always...

I can't believe it has been 3 years. I miss you all the time. You have made such a lasting impression, not just on me, but on everyone who has had the great pleasure of knowing you. My heart breaks at the thought of you not being here, but I know that we will meet again someday. I miss you and will love you forever.
Love,

Vinny,
Thinking a lot about you lately. Needless to say I miss you very much. As you can see Gabrielle is turning out to be some special kind of young lady. Chrissy is a good mother and watches out for her. I can't express how much I miss you in words, but I'm sure you know you ALWAYS had a special place in my heart and still do. You have left a void in a lot of people's lives, you were such a storyteller and friend to many people. You are missed very much, especially by Eddie. All I can say now, is that I loved you very much and miss you.

Hey Vin Man, I have been thinking of you so much recently. The summer months are here, when you would share your summer stories with me over lunch... remember? I would tell you my exciting weekend and you would make a joke out everything I said. You made me laugh so much. I found a real friend in you Vinny. You would give me advice, and just the conversations alone would go on way past our lunch hour... (not often though VKI :) I loved working with you and I keep you picture on my desk and in my heart everwhere. I can't eat an italian meal with out saying, "Vinny would love this", or If I "try" to make something really good that involves (GRAVY) LOL and pasta, I can't help but think if you would dare to try it. I am missing you all the time. You were a great friend and you don't find them often. I am blessed that I found a friend in you... God Bless you and your family always Vinny...

Vinny,
There are not to many days that pass by without a story shared between Ryan and myself about you and everyone of them end up with us shaking our heads and laughing. One thing is for sure we all miss you very much . I know you've come to visit more than once in my dreams I just wish that I could get just one more slap on the back that made me loss my wind, or to hear another joke from you.
see you soon my friend..

Hi Gabrielle,
I am happy that you are old enough and understand enough so that you able to read this Guest Book. I think it is very special what everyone wrote about your Dad, and now you can appreicate it. I'm not mad at God. You and I have talked alot about your Dad and Papa. I think they were taken from us way too soon, but I'm sure that God had his reasons. I'm sure He wanted them, too! Keep thinking of him always, so he will always be in your heart. I know he will never leave mine. I miss him everyday. I know that he is looking down on you, so proud of the young woman you are becoming. We are all proud of you. You have had to deal with alot more than most girls your age. And you have done it with style and grace! I know it is not always easy, and we can never make up for the space he left behind, but you know that we are always here for you. I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Hi Gabby
I looked at you yesterday with all the "little" kids and watched as you were getting them together and being the "ring" leader. This is something your father would do. I see so much of him in you. Your mother has so much to be proud of herself for raising you with such class. Your father taught you something that isn't taught in school it's taught in "life" and living it. You learned well from both of your parents!!Keep up the good work, you're turning into a fine young lady. Gabby, just keep caring about people that way you do with the little things that you do and you will be a great person. We love you very much and I know your father is watching ALL of us. He knows what is going on with all of us and helps us when we have bad times~~he doesn't want us to be sad, so smile when you think of him because he alway said you have a beautiful smile and wants all of us to be as happy as he is.

Gabrielle,
I know you won't ever forget, but I want to put into words things that happen for your father as they happen. September 3, 2006 we had a bike/car run to mark the 1st year anniversary of your fathers death. It was pouring, but It didn't stop some dedicated friends to come out and show us their support. After the run we went back to the Bad Moose Cafe. Nana, family and friends were there to celebrate your fathers life. Meaghan presented you with a check for your future, all of which was a result of t-shirts sales, raffles and a jug that had been placed on the bar since your father died. Everyone that goes to the Bad Moose has been putting money into it for over a year. There was a big write-up in the local paper with Nana and your picture on the front page. Your father has a lot of friends and is greatly missed. We love him and miss him.
Love Auntie Lulu

Vinny, Vinny, Vinny....there are so many words to describe the "vin man"
so I will not try to fit them in this space. Well Vinny I'm sure you know Darnell in the florida office has passed away also. It is a very sad day at Valentine and Kebartas. I could really use one of your jokes right now. Also anyone who is reading this. Several people's worlds have changed since the sudden death of our dear friend Vinny. Please take the time to make sure your words to people are as sweet as possiable. You never know if that is the last time you will see them. We all miss you.

Vinny was one friend that would always give me advise. He made me laugh, and told me jokes that would have me almost in tears. We ate lunch together every day and I miss that the most in my work day. Vinny had a huge inpact on my life as well as others. I will always miss Vinny and I hold our fun times forever in my heart. May God Bless you all.

Uncle Vinny,
It feels like we were just @ Maranda’s party yesterday....
the sleepless nights remind me just how long it’s really been.
I can’t believe it has been 1 month today :(
I really miss you sending me jokes by email on a DAILY basis, your voice, the way you lovingly made fun of me, your hugs, etc.
Family functions, holidays, life will NEVER be the same.
I LOVE YOU & WISH YOU WERE HERE!!!

Vin,
You were quite the character. Never without a joke, funny story or your famous hugs.....I think Marie loved those more than anyone.
There is one thing about you that really stands out with me. At yours and Chrissie's wedding the song "Summer Wind" came on and I remember you yelling for everyone to come up to dance...if I remember correctly the first one you danced with was your brother Eddie.
Well Vin, the Summer wind came blowin in and swept you up to heaven.
Love,
Moe, Marie and kids

To Ma & Gabrielle: Ma you and Dad showed us what love and family mean. We have passed that along to our kids & they have passed it to theirs. People envy our family and what we share. Thank you. Every day I have a empty felling in the pit of my stomach, but my heart is filled with love and memories. Gabrielle: I spoiled your father since the day he was born (even though I told Papa to tell Nana to put him back because I wanted a girl) Always remember he loved you more than anything & I will always be here for you anytime you need me. Together we will all keep his memory alive. Love Always

To Vinnies' family. I was the "fragrance connection" for a few years. That was how I came to know Vin, Gab, and the crew. I am so sorry that we weren't there. We only found out today, 2 weeks later. Vin could always make me laugh until I couldn't stop. I will miss him terribly. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a special person and one who will be missed by all who knew him I'm sure.

Dear Lulu, Chris, Lyn and Danielle,
Thank you for introducing our family to Vinny. Being part of your family get-togethers made it possible for us to be totally entertained by one of the funniest people we have ever met - Vinny.
Our hearts go out to you and your family, especially Gabrielle.
Vinny always made our family feel welcomed and part of your extended family, we will sadly miss him.
With love,

Dear Ed & Family - for your brother Vinny - May you always walk in sunshine and God's love around you flow, for the happiness you gave us, no one will ever know. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, a part of us went with you, the day God called you home. A million times we've needed you. A million times we've cried. If love could only have saved you, you never would have died. We love you Ed & family.

Words cannot express my heartahe and complete sense of loss...I am lost. He meant the world to us, as he did to all of you. Please keep this Guest Book going...for Gabrielle as well as each other. Please feel free to enter as many stories and memories of Uncle Vinny for everyone to enjoy for years to come. We can't share him anymore, but we can now share this tribute to him. This Guest Book will now be here forever as will our loving thoughts and memories of him.
I love you very much Uncle Vinny. We will always be here to keep your memory alive within Gabrielle, and to watch over her in your place. I know that you are at peace, in Heaven with God & Papa (as well as all of our lost loved ones). And I'm sure that you are rearranging things just how you like them & that you already have 3 blonde angels waiting on you hand and foot. You will always be in my heart and in my prayers. I love and miss you, always.
Love Always,
Lyn
