When I close my eyes I can still see your smile and the sparkle in your eye. When I listen closely I can still hear your voice. When my heart is aching I can feel your presence and in those darkest moments almost feel a warm, gentle hug. You have made your journey to heaven and received your angel wings. My hope is that you can still feel the love that will forever be in my heart for you. Angel, spread your wings and soar.

Happy 43rd birthday, my love. I and your buddies wish that you were here to celebrate it with us. We'll be thinking of you all day on the 17th...and every day.
I love you more than I can possibly say. You are always in my heart. I wish that I could hold your hand one more time.

I thought of you today
But that is nothing new
I thought of yesterday
And the day before that too
Eventhough we are seperated
We will never be apart
God has you in his kingdom
I have you in my heart
Glenn/Tori look at your picture
And will never forget who you are
Their favorite uncle of all
Yes you really are
My brother is gone now
And i'll tell no lie
God took the wrong man
I (Glenn) should have died
God has been good to me
And i still can not tell you why
when I think about my you Vincent
I just start to cry
But life must go on without you
Time does not stand still
For there are seeds to plant
For our Lord and Savior
and I'll see you again
I really do feel

My dear, sweet Vincent. The first anniversary of your death is just around the corner. I was sure that the pain and sorrow of losing you would start to lessen in the course of a year but this is not the case. Not a day goes by that I don't think of your beautiful and sweet smile, your deep and raucus laugh, and your gentle and kind spirit. I miss you more than I can ever say. You are and always will remain the love of my life.
To all who knew Vincent, I've attached a picture of him from a happier time during one of our many trips. Remember him fondly.

Vincent, the holidays are not the same without you. You are truly missed daily.We will miss you on Christmas morning; for 2yrs you would wake us ringing the door bell. We couldn't wait to open the door because we knew it was you.I don't know who was the most excited to see you Glenn Sr. Glenn Jr. or myself.You would spend the morning with us watching Glenn Jr. and me open our presents. Glenn Sr. would video us and the two of you would often look at each other with a smile once you saw the smiles on Glenn Jr. and my face.Tori will not get the same opportunity like Glenn Jr. to be able to share her Christmas in person with you. However, there is not a day that goes by that we don't mention your name to both she and Glenn Jr. I have always loved you for who you were;you were the most loving and caring person and I really miss seeing you and giving you a physical hug; we would always smile and be happy to see each other.You were the best brother-in-law that I could ever have. May you continue to rest in peace.We love you.
Love Always,
Glenn Sr.

Hi: My dear nephew: I miss you so much. I was driving along the highway on yesterday, and I looked & saw a man who favor you so much & I started crying out your name! I know you are free and in better place, no suffering. But I miss you and so do so many others. But I do know I'll see my loving nephew again and that's what keep me going. God makes no mistakes. One day I will get that call, it's time My child, Come! I love you Vince! Aunt Rose Marie

I have only just found out about Vince's passing and send my hearfelt condolences to James and to Vince's family. Just reading the fabulous entries in the Guest Book totally reflect Vince's wonderful spirit and he was obviously blessed with devoted friends and family. I will never forget his beautiful smile.

My dear, sweet Vincent. A group of us got together to celebrate your birthday and your life. Donna, Susan, Sharon, Jane, Viveca, Rose, Karen, Deb, Jane, Rick, and I got together to reminisce. We all love you so much and we want you to know that that our love will never diminish.
We all miss you terribly but I miss you most of all. No one has ever touched me more deeply or loved me more intensely than you. I miss you so much that I can hardly stand it. You are the love of my life. I will remember you forever. Rest well, my love. You will always be in my deepest thoughts.

Well Vince, it's been almost a month since you've been gone. Everywhere I look I see and touch things that remind me of you. I wish you were here to celebrate your birthday but I know you're no longer in pain and that's all that matters.
Happy birthday Vince.
I love and miss you....

You were my friend, my handsome pal, my go-to guy. We had seven great years of fun and fellowship, and I thank you for that. Your dynamite smile and gentle presence always lit up a room wherever you went. I was always quite proud to be with you…at the movies, at the malls, at all the gatherings for holidays, it was great to be with you. And didn’t we have fun!
There is a terrible sense of loss in my heart, and I suppose it will be filled in time with hundreds of wonderful memories. I know you’re in a good place, but I really, really didn’t want to lose you.
Peace be with you, my friend. I love you. Rose

To The Family of Vincent Bishop,
Glen & Toni, His unconditional love will be missed. I'd never worked with Vincent, but he never met a stranger. He would always talk about his nephew (Glen Jr) & his niece (Tori-The new addition). We would share photos of my son (Jacob) and his niece & nephew. His smiling face and caring heart, will be missed by many. When my mother passed, he was there at the service, showing that "Big Smile). Saying, Bell, its going to be alright. NO MORE PAIN & SUFFERING!! As you read these expressions, the "LOVE, CARE, COMPASSION, etc.), he showed others, will always be a good memory in our hearts. My prayers will continue to be with Glen & Toni, and the Bishop Family... Peggie Bell-Banks.....

My "LUNCH BUDDY"
Lunch will never be the same. I already miss running errands during our scheduled 1 hour lunch all over the city of houston every single day. Everyone knew we were partners in "crime", figuratively speaking. I had his back and he had mine. I now work 8am-5pm instead of 8:00am-4:50pm when I would be told to get my toys together so we could be out by 4:55p to beat the 5:00p rush of people. Being in the middle of the bickering between Vince, Juanita & Lisa, made us more like sisters and brother. Not a day would go by without sibling confrontation. All Good. There's probably not enough room for me to enter all that's on my mind but to the family, know that Vincent although very private, was extremely caring and loved his family, immediate and extended and was always willing to help. Stay strong in your faith and with time, all will be well.

Vincent:
you broke so many hearts when you left us. I don't know that I can really express how deeply painful losing you is. Whenever I see or hear something familiar, I think of some wonderful time that we spent together. I will always remember the wonderful trips to Canada, Spain, the Caribbean, and the Canary Island. I know that I won't soon recover from this loss. I miss that big, beautiful smile and that deep, infectious and joyful laugh. You brought me much joy and happiness and I will always love you and keep you in my heart.

A quiet, handome man with so many good and wonderful qualities. He will be very much missed by those who knew him. I feel so much richer for having known him.

June 27, 2007
Vincent:
You have left many people, including me, with broken hearts. You left us all far too soon. From the moment we met I knew that you were an amazing man. I won't ever forget all of the traveling that we did together. I particularly remember the trip to Spain and what a fantastic trip that was. Barcelona is a place that I have always loved and will always remember because of the great time that we had there and in the Canary Islands.
Your kindness, generosity, and strength will be hard to match. You have always put the needs of your family and friends above those of yourself. I will never forget when I walked into your room in the ICU right after your surgery. When you saw me, you mouthed the words, "are you alright?" That is so like you. The pain and fear that you were experiencing took a back seat to my anguish.
I will never forget that big, beautiful, bald head; that amazing smile; and that deep, hearty, infectious laugh.
My good friend and mentor, Gil Watz once told me, "Don't ask for an easy life. Pray to be a strong man." I sincerely doubt that there has ever been a stronger, kinder or more loving man in my life.
I thank you for exposing me to Toni, Glenn, and the rest of your family. They readily accepted me and provided me with comfort that I might not have otherwise experienced.
I will do my best to be the surrogate uncle for Glenn, Jr. and Tori. Those are big shoes to fill but I will do my best.
I will love you and hold you in my heart forever. You were the man that many of us strive to be.
Love,
James

To the family of Vincent,
PSALM 98, O Sing unto the Lord a new song: for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory!
I hope these words encourage my friend and sister in Christ, Joyce Taylor and her family.
The Lord is ready to battle, so he really need the best soldiers to stand.
Look to the Hills which cometh your help!
Love,

To my family:
God new Vincent was getting weary, so he did what was best. He came and stood beside him and whispered, come and rest. A precious one from us is gone, a voice we love is still; a place is vacant in our home which never can be filled. After a lonely heartache and many a silent tears; but always a beautiful memory, of one who was so dear. Vincent is safe in the arms of Jesus, safe in his gentle breast; there by his love over shaded, sweetly your soul shall rest. Take care Aunt sister; we all love you.

Vincent and I shared many of special times together. He was more than just a friend, he was a very special loved one to me and will always have a special place in my heart. We traveled,talked,laughed,cried,and worked together.I Loved Vincent but God Loves him more and called him home to be with him. I will truly miss my dear loved one that meant so much to me. To The Bishop family; we will see Vincent again and laugh together again. May God Continue To Bless and keep you is my prayers.

Hey Uncle Vincent! This is your Meisha. I am really going to miss you!
To My Family: I know that he is in a better place. God has called him home! I know that he has been really awesome! He was like a father figure in my life growing up. I am one of the 1st of the second generation. I really wish that I would have spent more time with him as a woman. Uncle Vincent will always have a place in my heart. God has truly sent us another angel to watch over us from the heavens! To Aunt Sista, God has your back. I want my family to know that God has a plan for all of us. We will all one day meet again in the heavens as sisters and brothers. Uncle Vincent I love you and this is not a good bye. It is see ya later for now until we meet again.

To the Family,
My prayers are with you all during this unexpected loss of a very dear friend. I worked with Vincent when he first came to SBC/AT&T and I adopted him as my son. He was a son that I would have been very proud of because he was a caring, funny and a loving person. He will truly be missed, but God has called Vincent home. Take care and may God be with you all.

A new command I give you: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another. John 13:34-35
Vincent loved and was loved by the member of CPC. Vincent actions showed he cared for everyone no matter what race, gender or social economic background. He has been a pillow of support and a testimony of faith. Vincent would walk through the work group speaking to everyone and calling us each by name. During his last days he was at peace that went beyond all understanding. Vincent’s death came as a shock because we truly didn’t know the depth of his illness, he never complained.
He was a person who would do anything for his friends. He was an excellent cook and known for his beans.
Vincent loved his mother and family members.
May God bless you and keep you.

You had so many gifts to share with this world. Your beautiful smile could brighten anyone's day, your laughter was infectious, you were generous and always ready to help someone in need. Even though you tried to show a rough exterior, your heart was tender and kind. I can not imagine my life without having you in it. You will forever remain in my heart.
