To all of my cousins, their spouses, children, and grandchildren,
It was with great sorrow that we learned of Uncle Vincent's passing. Each and every time I had the privilege to be around Uncle Vincent, he had that rare ability to instantly make everyone around him feel comfortable and special. His devotion to Aunt Fern, and his profound love for his family, were always evident. He was so very proud, and rightfully so, of each and every one of you. I know I speak for my father when I say he truly treasured his brother, his counsel, and their relationship. We will all miss him, but know that he has been joyfully reunited in heaven with Aunt Fern, and they are watching over all of us. Please know that our thoughts, prayers, and sympathies are with you all. May your many wonderful memories of this extraordinary man sustain you during this difficult time, and may God bless each and every one of you.
