Hi Vince! Here we are so far along now. I still think of you often and all the fun we had at your and Dick's apartment. (And Bella too!) You really opened my eyes and helped me to see at a very difficult time in my life. I still cry at all the pain you went through in those final months. Oh my dear Vince, how strong you were. Your friend forever, Timmers

I thoroughly adored you Vinnie. You made me laugh, you gave me Your Song by Elton John, as mine. Polk Street with Cary, Dannie, and Michael. The insane government has taken the Trans and Questioning out of LGBTQ at the Stonewall monument in NY. Everyone died after you. From AIDS. Michael Fox, maybe the last one. But, from COPD. Dannie got to walk Dawn up the aisle, and I still have that big flyer a zillion years later that you all made for me when I left for SF. I miss all of you. Such times we had! A straight blonde gal, me, and all of her gay friends. Love you, Vinnie.
