While thumbing thru the Pentecostal Evangel I learned of Rev. Huffey's passing, I was a great friend of Debbi's, and wanted to send my sympathy's to her and her family
I remember the short visit I had with her and her family at her wedding, and always remembered the sweetness of the Huffey's

I will miss Uncle Vinton. His faith will always be an inspiration to me. It is nice to know that he is now part of that "great cloud of witnesses in heaven." We certainly need him watching over us down here in this tough old world.
Uncle Vinton's neice,

Our thoughts and prayers are will all the family. How wonderful that you all were able to be with him and bring him peace during his passing. I loved that you sang hymns to him and he would sing with you at times. Condolences to all.

We send our sympathy and prayers to all of you. I enjoyed his autobiography book. I never knew my Dad attended the World Fair in Chicago! I was 5 years old when Uncle Vinton arrived at our house in CA, he was there to marry your mother. This was the first I recollect of him. I attended their wedding! Much love to my "Huffey Cousins."

We want to send our sympathies, love and prayers to your family. We will miss Uncle Vinton but we can only imagine the reunions that he is now having in Heaven. He was a wonderful example and influence on our lives. We so enjoyed reading his autobiography book just recently published at age 92, "Born on the Seventh Day". He surely kept the faith and we look forward to meeting him again in Heaven.
