Thoughts for Andrew Howard Vincent;

  • Beth Vincent says:

    Dear Family, I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Andy. We haven’t seen each other in many years but I do remember all of the things he liked that you so sweetly have written. I used to have that 45 he recorded but through the years it has disappeared. I went fishing and hunting with him when I was little. Anyway sorry I didn’t get to know you. Unfortunately my circumstances aren’t good. I’m suffering with heart failure and having a lot of hospital hours at this time. I do however wish you all can find peace and your hearts may rest. I will have you in my prayers and sending a kiss for Uncle Andy. Rest in Peace. Your time of labor is over. Hope I get to meet my cousins someday.

  • Beth Vincent says:

    Maybe my letter was to long so short and sweet. I loved Uncle Andy . We had some great childhood memories, but I will not be able to attend. I begin heart surgery myself this next week if not sooner . Anyway you’re in my prayers. Rest easy and find peace in your time of mourning. Love you Aunt Linda and all you cousins.

    Such an incredible man who will be missed beyond the stars. I’m beyond thankful for the many years I’ve been able to spend with him. He was the best father n law anyone could ever ask for. Love you always.

  • John Wilson Huff says:

    Linda and Family,
    My heart is broken, along with y’all’s…Andy was one of the finest men I’ve ever known. I’m glad I told him so, instead of just speaking of him after his passing. In the many years of knowing him, I never had occasion to pass harsh words with him. He was generous to a fault.
    I grieve with his family and friends, especially after the death of our Sister, Melanie Logue…Linda, I love you dearly…
