Deanne, I just heard about Vince. He is a great friend and I will miss him. I know how hard this must be, but remember he is waiting in heaven. He will be missed by all of us.
Deanne, I know this is a hard time for you and the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember Vince and the fun he and my mother had at Kistlers. She really enjoyed working with him.
May you soon find peace and comfort.
