Man this hurt me deep. Got to know you in Cali years ago and always reached out since I've moved just to check on me and see how life been lifin. Thankful I got to see you when u came down for new years man and was able to enjoy some bbq and catch up. Always positive and always told me what I needed to hear not what I wanted to hear. And for our last convo to be you congratulating me on my new job and asking how my family doing just speaks volumes to type of guy you've been to everyone you've known. We'll miss you man.

Vince, words can not express how I feel right now. You are loved and will most definitely be missed, Cousinβ€οΈ Still don't seem real. To my Aunt Lisa and my Uncle Louis, know that I love you all. Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal. Revelation 21:4: "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away".
