VINCE IS GONE

Hi Everyone!
It has been awhile since I have posted. My regular readers know that I have been in Sacramento taking care of my brother, Vince. He passed over to the other side Sunday, July 4th. I was with him through is last breath. I know my sister, Gayle, was holding her hand out to him and now they are playing in a field of yellow flowers. I will never regret taking time from my life to care for my sweet wonderful brother. It is my blessed honor to have known him and loved him his whole life.
He knew that all of you were praying for him and many times he said, "Be sure to thank everyone for me." So from Vince, me, and my family thank you for all of your prayers, glowing light of energy, blessed wishes and good thoughts.
I will be home this week

Oh, Nicole, I am so sorry for your loss of Vince. So many of us were praying and sending good thoughts for him, but I guess a turn around just wasn't meant to be. I am happy to hear that Vince knew that so many people were thinking of him. He was very fortunate to have you in his life and to have you there for him at the end. He knows he was (and is) loved.

My heart so heavy for you right now. I know you feel the whole world should stop and see what they have lost. I remember that feeling well. I want you to know that in the short time that I have been getting to know you I am well aware of the love you have for your brother and what that meant to him. You will cherish all the memories and make sure he is with you always of that I am sure! If you need me I am here for you!

With a heavy heart I wish you and your family peace.

awww Miss Nicole I am so sorry to hear this. I do hope you and your family can take peace in the fact that there was so much love between you all...that kind of loyalty and devotion cannot end with just a last breath. You will see him and Gayle both in the years to come and I am sure feel them around you always. Hugging you and your poor lil heart. Beth

Dear Nicole
I sucked in my breath. Shock that this situation happened. Such senseless loss.

I know that our loved ones that pass are never gone from us. I am happy for you that you shared with him his last days here. I know that it brings a certain peace to you, as it did for him.

Warm regards,
CArol

Nicole,

My deepest condolences to you and your family -- I've had you and Vince in my thoughts. Wishing you and your loved ones some comfort knowing that your brother is now at peace.

Lynn said...

So unfair, really. I would like to say "his suffering is over" "you'll meet up again" and other positive thoughts, but right now, I'm just pissed. It seems to me someone somewhere screwed up big time.

Peace.
