Carolyn, I am an old acquaintance and facebook friend of your sister-in-law Barbara. I prayed for your husband because of Barbara's posts and at the same time I was praying for my mother-in-law who was battling complications of lung cancer. They both passed on the same day. I'm so sorry for your loss and pray now for your peace and comfort as you continue with all that God has called you to do, until you are again reunited. Looking at the list of those who survive with you, I know God has much for you to contribute to those who love you.

Vincent and I graduated the same year from Salem High School, 1974, but I hadn't seen him since. I too have been married 35 years so I can relate to the loss after such a long time together. May the LORD conform Carolyn in this time!

Carolyn, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know Vince was your soul mate, your best friend, your world. May you find comfort with all the beautiful memories you and Vince shared. May prayers are with you during this very difficult time. God Bless. Jenny
