My dear Vincent, I feel so blessed to have had the pleasure of meeting your dear wife, Ruth. Terri was taken with her and I want you to know Terri has always had a special place in her heart for you. It’s times like these when you realize mere words are so inadequate.
To my family, you have always been the dearest friend.
I pray Our Father wrap you in his loving embrace and help you find some manner of peace and comfort.
No more suffering, no more pain! May she rest in eternal peace.
We all love you so much and I wish I was closer so I could hug your neck.
I love you man, Ed
