So it's been a pretty sad week. On wednesday, my cousin Tara's husband Vince passed away unexpectedly. He was the same age as me. I've posted a picture of me and Vince dancing at Silk City this past winter. We had a great time that night, and not that long ago were joking about it over facebook.
I also posted a picture of tara and vince at the Nationals game. In May, tara and vince took me and bryan to the game...she got free tickets through her company and we enjoyed every minute of it!
The viewing is sunday and the funeral monday. I'm heading to baltimore tommorrow and won't be back in oregon til tuesday. One of vince's co-workers gave me a free flight using her frequent flier miles. It is really amazing how generous people are.
Vince was a fun loving guy, who loved my cousin and never minded any of our shenanigans, in fact he usually joined in. I just had a flashback of one of the first times I met vince and we were driving to a bar (we had been drinking beer beforehand) and how he had to stop for all the girls to take a bathroom break and didn't mind at all, even though the stop was in a not so perfect location. We'll all miss him and our crazy fun times together.
Please keep tara and the rest of the family in your prayers.

Hey Jen its Al. I'm so sorry to hear about Tara's husband. Let her know I will be praying for her and will keep her in my thoughts this week. When you hear about things like that it makes you realize how fragile life really is. It also makes me realize that we need to do a better job of staying in touch. Life is short and great friends are precious. Talk to you soon.
Jen, We're so sorry to hear about Vince's passing. Please send Tara and the family our condolences.
Roni, Dave & Sung
Jen,
I hope you can find strength and confort in Vince's memories. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.
Your friend,
Vince
