I hope the leaving is joyful; and I hope never to return.Frida Kahlo
I would love to give thanks to my almighty God Jesus for blessing me with this miracle of having the oppurtunity to ask for forgiveness and repent of my sins, so I may enter the gates of heaven on that wonderful journey that we will all one day face. May God bless you as he has blessed me forever and ever and ever.
Amen
~Vincent Correa
Today I found old videos of you and the family. From about 14 years ago! It was Tino's 2nd Birthday, Uncle Jim was there! We had a great time! Uncle Vincent, I had forgotten about these videos, when I had seen you pop up! I realized how much I miss you. To hear you voice again to see you smile to have you hug me again. To realize it hurts so bad still! The video made me laugh with tears running down my face! I Love you so much! I will keep you in my heart forever!
One Year Ago Today
One year ago today, my heart was sadden with tears, as you were called home to be with the Lord. We had some good times through out the years, laughing, talking and dreaming without any fears.
One year ago today, I could see the windows of your eyes you were ready to go, whispering to God take me home. Just hold my hand and give me a kiss, I will turn away and you can leave this world behind.
Sorrow has become my friend now, forever to hold my hand. Love carries my heart each day keeping sadness away at bay. Hope cries in my ear the promise we will meet again, how and when I can’t explain.
One year ago today, I can’t forget, my best friend left. Morning will be soon, I can only be glad for the wonderful time we had. Celebrate Life.
Love you always.
tio the day of your ashes was something a king would be proud of. family friends an good drinks it was something .the lov n pain of missing u. u could c it in all our faces . u will always be in my heart n thoughts. i still cry 4 u lov u tio
This is the day
Finally you are at rest. We scattered your ashes across the glimmering bay.
It was the most perfect inviting day.
The sun was shining gold; the air was crisp, cool and bold.
We hurried to get on the boat promising ourselves we will not cry, as we all knew we had to say our last goodbye.
As much as I wanted you to stay, time was not on my side, as I watched the rising tide, I knew god’s ocean would take you inside.
Your ashes to be tucked away forever in the bay.
We all gathered to say goodbye,
I thought to myself your departure was so unfair, but as we promised, we released you into the air.
We raised our glasses to give you a toast and through my broken-heart laugh, quiet glossy eyes and faded posed voice I rejoiced you are now with God.
It was the most perfect inviting day that we will always remember that afternoon at Half Moon Bay.
Rest in peace.
We talked about this memory on one of our last visit's.
My mom would ask you to babysit Angela & I and somehow we would always trick you into gettind locked outside, we would open a window spray you with my mom's perfume then open another window a get you with baby powder, you said " that's right you little brat's I smelled like a damn Drag Queen" we laughed because we always cleaned it up so my mom would'nt know, but the best thing is you would always say yes to babysitting us. Thanks for all the many childhood memories with you being the cool uncle.

One Year Ago Today |

One year ago today, my heart was sadden with tears, as you were called home to be with the Lord. We had some good times through out the years, laughing, talking and dreaming without any fears.
One year ago today, I could see the windows of your eyes you were ready to go, whispering to God take me home. Just hold my hand and give me a kiss, I will turn away and you can leave this world behind.

Love you always.
One month is too long, but it's not too short from the time I heard your voice.
How could we forget the day God chose to take you home while the angels looked on to rejoice.
But dreams help me forget that you are not here.
I see you as if there is no tomorrow, until my cheek feels the warmth
of a tear.
Missing you feels like the quietness at the end of my day.
I know you have moved on dancing through the stars, visiting the sun and jumping off the Milky Way.
Look around you, you are free to walk, you are free to run and you are free to dance. God has blessed you with another chance.
Come visit me again, I will be waiting patiently. Bring your laughter, bring your smile, remembering the memory of your face, as I can only lean on the permission of God's good grace.

War & Peace |
May 2, 2009 |
At first you were ready to fight the war of your life and beat the cancer and you gave it your all. It was soon clear that God had choose you to show the family that he is a living and loving God. I saw you and thought what a strong and peaceful warrior. I wondered why you had not gone on that boat the first time you had the chance to go. But you were not done with the work God wanted you to do. I now know he wanted the family to see that miracles can and do happen. I can say we will all surely miss you’re pranks and puns. It was not a party unless Uncle Vincent was there to kick it up a notch. I want to thank you for the memories that we will treasure. God has blessed our family with you.

Wait For Me |
May 1, 2009 |
Wait for me at the Pearly Gates.
When it is my turn to join you at my fate.
Wait for me; I will stop crying to give you a kiss
and a hug to say goodbye.
Wait for me like you did when we were small,
so that we could hold hands and we can run and
not fall.
Wait for me in my dreams when we can talk and
laugh and be happy once more.
Wait for me in the shadows of Fall when I could hear
your voice rustling through the leaves mystically.
Wait for me in the clouds when I look up knowing
that you are there comforting me.
Wait for me in the sunset, glowing on my face, for it is
your love that I will embrace.
Wait for me forever in my heart where you will always be
never to depart.
