Vince,
I met your family in Atlanta the same weekend I met you. The first thing I noticed was how important your family was to you and how much you loved them. I am so sorry for your loss. You and the girls have to be strong for each other. Sara will be in my prayers

Vince,

We were very shocked and so deeply saddened to learn of Sara's unexpected passing. Sara was so welcoming to ALL the people you brought in to your lives. We are thankful for the many good times we shared with you and the family when we all lived in South Florida.

We are sorry that we couldn't physically be there for you but know you are surrounded by a wonderful support system of family and friends, that will help get you and the girls through this very difficult time.

We are keeping you, Lexie & Sam in our thoughts and prayers always. Please reach out if there is anything we can do for you.

In love and friendship always,
Frank & Belinda
