Dear Ana,
Sincere condolences to you and all family & friends.
I was Blessed to have known & become friends with Vince. Everyone that came into contact with Vince were touched by his compassion & sincerity. Vince was very thoughtful & had the rare talent of patience & the ability to communicate honestly & well with everyone. For this we all greatly admired & will miss his leadership.
I along with many others will miss his friendship, smile, & laugh. I have to take comfort in thinking that God must have a special assignment for Vince & that he will be watching over all of us. We will miss but never forget Vince.
My thoughts & prayers with all of you.

Just think,You were not here by chance, but by God,s choosing. His hand formed you the person you were. He compares you to no one else-you were one of a kind.You lack nothing that His grace can,t give you to have been here at this time in history to fulfill His special purpose for this generation. How thankful we are to be here at the same time you were.

Not only is he one of the greatest dads.He made a promise to our ma after she got divorced from our dad.he said I will always love,and take care of you,and never let anything happen to you ever.I'll always be there for you.He was 20 at the time. He kept his promise, each and every day till he died at 39.I learn alot from my little brother with the big heart.He taught me what the true meaning of what love is.I only hope i can be half the man that he was.I am sooo very proud of you.I miss you already.You will never be forgotten.I LOVE YOU.
