Debbie and Valerie,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I have fond childhood memories of visiting our grandparents on Ohio St. on Sunday's with Cousin Vince and all the family. I'm glad I was able to talk with Vince several times over the last few weeks. Vince was a wonderful man who loved his family. It gives us great comfort to know that Vince is reunited in Heaven with his family and in the presence of God. May the peace of God be with. Love, Your cousin, Carol Ann
