Bob, Sally, Chris, Vanessa,
No matter how prepared you think you may be, the pain is not lessened. You have the love of family and friends to help you get through this sad time. Let us help in any way we can. My thoughts and prayers for strength and peace are with you.

To the Vincent family—Alice, Jim, and Bob (and all the extended family),
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I met Aunt Joy many years ago when she came to Newfoundland, and she was so very sweet to me. I have the bangle bracelet (white with pink roses) she gave me when I was a young girl—it still fits my wrist. Not long ago, I was going through old photos and found many pictures of your family and Aunt Joy. And although my memory fails me, apparently I was in Pennsylvania when I was just a baby. We know that this time will be difficult for all of you, but keep the happy memories close and, in time, those memories will make you feel better. Our thoughts and prayers are with you now and always. We may be many miles apart, but you are so very close in our hearts.
With sincerity and love,
Lisa (Lane) and Tim (Fitzpatrick)
