Dear Alice, Brian, and Angela:
News of Vincent's passing has come to me just of late. I cannot express how very sorry I am that this noble man of God is no longer with us. Our comfort is that we know he sleeps in the Lord and will be reunited with his beloved family at Christ's return.
I know I am scarce more than a stranger anymore, but the Howell Family has always had a special place in my heart, because Brian and Angela were baptised at the same time I was; and because Alice and Wilhelmina were the closest and dearest friends my mother had. Vincent was a gentleman held in the highest regard and with the deepest respect by our entire family. His service to God, to his family, his Church, and his community were an inspiration for us all. Please accept my sincerest condolences to you Alice, Brian, and Angela.
Love,
Fran
