Dear Debbie, Kelly, Kim and Kacey,
We are heartbroken at the loss of Vinnie. I always called him my favorite brother in law and then said I was only kidding. He loved to bust my chops. We are going to miss him dearly. We were fortunate enough to see him many times in the last three years. He was always teasing Frank because he rented the smallest cars. We love him dearly and am glad he is at peace. See you tomorrow.
