I heard about your son's death today from the mgr at the Holiday Inn where he worked, I thought I'd drop a note, I too lost a child - Stephanie in a tragic car accident on Nov. 18 of last year, I know what you're going through - my prayer are with you

Dear John,
I was looking for your address online when I read about your son...I am so deeply saddened by your loss. I remember when you called mom when Vincent was born and how proud and excited you were to be a father. I read the guest book entries and they sound like another boy I knew so many years ago. Know that he was welcomed to heaven by a very special angel to both of us...and she will watch over him as she did you so many years ago.
God Bless to you and all your family and know you're always in my thoughts and prayers now and always.

Rochelle and family,

I was so sorry to hear the news of Vincents passing. I was on business in California when I heard. Our prayers have been with you since, Vincent was a wonderful young man that you will always be proud of. He was a joy to visit when I filled the cars with gas and always polite and very respectful. He is what I would want a son to be like if I had been blessed with one. God Bless you and your family
Bill, Darlene and family

To my friend John and your family,

It saddens me to think that our visits revolving around our children, the ups, the downs, their growing up, their interests, and just how truly special they all are in their own ways, will for now bring such sorrow when we talk about Vincent. In time, I hope to again hear about all the wonderful things Vincent did in his short, but eventful life. I can't imagine the sorrow you must be feeling right now, but please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

God Bless you and your family

Dear Boos Family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. What a blessing it was to have Vince in my life and to have met him. He was such a great friend and a great teacher. I think he taught us all how to live life to the fullest and make every moment count. He deffinately taught me a lot about friendship, courage, and love of life. He was a wonderful man and I wish only the best for his family and friends. Again I am very sorry.

Boos Family,
I cant ever remember a time that I didn't see a loving smile or hear him whistle a cheerful tune as he walked by. I knew Vincent since he first arrived at Briarwood Elementary many years ago. He was absolutely the kindest and most gentle-hearted person I have ever met. It broke my heart when I heard the news last night. My heart goes out to all of you. Bless you all.
