I was able to tell everyone how wonderful you are, and how much I miss you. When we was done I went to see you. I got to do our job as well today. I found a home for three kittens. It was a good day except you wasn't here except by our hearts. I love and miss you xoxoxox

My Dearest Uncle Vance. Father figure. Provider. Friend. Sharing soul. Sweet soul. Passionate person. Fighter. Man with few words. Thinker. Dreamer. 
There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I miss hearing your voice and big hugs! I will always be grateful for what you've done for me. Even till the end you fought for life. What you've left behind will always be a true testament to your life. I will always be thankful to what you've taught me and inspired me, and will continue to hold it close to my heart. Thank you for filling me with your love and embrace. Thank you for fighting for me, for that I will always be grateful. I know you will continue looking out for me and ours, and I find much comfort in that. Enjoy your time with loved ones that we will also one day be fortunate to see again one day. The minutes until we meet again will feel like an eternity to all those left behind but we find comfort in knowing for you it will feel as if no time has past. Give my love to everyone on the other side. Again thank you. I'm so grateful for you. I love you. I miss you.

I Love You my Love

My Vance, was so strong and he loved everyone. He tried so hard to do his best at all times and he did. I just wish I was one half the person he was, and is. Ever since I've had to fight my way back and still not sure. Please stay with me baby, and help me learn. I miss and love you. xoxox

Gentle Giant with a heart bigger then that. So much love and care to give those that need it. Always a smile and a cute giggle that made me smile and laugh too. A huge love for his wife and family not all by blood but by fate. I am blessed to have gotten to know you thanks for being a friend to me. my son and all the animals at the shelter too. Miss You!

Vance lived his life true to his beliefs that you should treat others the way you'd want to be treated. That takes away alot of clutter in this life and is pretty straight forward according to God's law of loving one another. Vance was an exceptional man and didn't have a mean bone in his body as anyone who knew him could tell you. He will be missed by all who knew him.

To Vance. A real man who stood behind his word. A man that really knew that life's value did not come from what they held in their hand but what they held in their hearts. Just as they say "you really don't know how much someone means to you until their gone. you might be gone but never forgotten!!! THANK-YOU from the bottom of my heart for being my brother .

I go on this sight daily and it helps to know so many people love you and Sandy. Vance i miss you and hope you are at rest and it helps knowing you no longer are in pain. We've had so many great memories.I never knew what I'd be getting for Christmas and it was so much fun trying to top the year before.Thank you for the fly bys ..as only you would understand what that means! Love you <3

No words can express how much you are loved and missed.
My gentile giant, always there to rescue anyone in need, including
me on so many occasions,all my animals truly loved you too.
rest in peace my good friend.

I love and deeply miss my Uncle Vance....he had the best personality and the sweetest heart.. something I have learned from him is dont judge just love...he was as down to earth more than anyone I know...I remember him as a little girl I was so shy but loved to hear him speak...loved the bond he had with my mom....love u forever! We will meet again...always in my heart...

I miss you. You leave a hole in my life that was filled by your big teddy bear frame. I miss your quiet kindness and gentle smile, never judging, always finding the good in a situation. I hope that I can learn from your selfless generosity with your precious time, your ability to sort things without making a fuss. You helped when my mum was sick & you shot snakes for her. Love you forever.

Dear Papa, not one day goes by that I don't think about you. The girls and I miss you and your Papa bear hugs, the late night texts asking what I was doing or if I was watching Dawg the bounty hunter, but most of all I miss seeing your contagious smile that would spread it's sunshine through out. I love you past forever and I thank God for blessing me with you...you my Papa Vance.

I love you and miss you greatly uncle! I'll always have all the wonderful memories we had together ever since I was just a little rugrat. Thank you for everything. I will always remember your laugh and mischievous grin, every time warren does something he has the same look hahaha. LOVE YOU FOREVER AND ALWAYS!!!

Thank you for being the wonderful person you were. Thank you for your unconditional love. Thank you for being such a wonderful grandpa to Brittany and Tyler as well as a role model. You will be forever missed!!

Vance ..YOU ARE MISSED!! You have always been the gentle giant!! You shown love in all you did..from Sandy, Jason, your family, friends, nieces and nephews! You will continue to be an inspiration to all ...may we all learn and live the way Vance did! He NEVER talked about anyone unless it was with love, never repeated gossip, and he NEVER judged! He lived life to the fullest without regret

To a man, brother I knew most of my life... ( 5 years old) We miss and love you and will never forget. You did an awesome job in life Vance, and did it with grace and style.  I propose that ...Heather's Safe Haven should now be called ... Vance's Safe Haven!

To My uncle Vance, you will forever be in my heart!! Thank you for all of your unconditional love, for being such a strong but gentile man!! You tough me what life was really about and I'm so proud to say that i am a better women because you loved me!!! I miss you sooooooo much and forever will tell we meet again!! I Love you, Your Little Troll doll

Dad was and still is the most amazing, big hearted, kindest man in this world. I wouldn't change any given moment that I shared with you for ANYTHING in the world. You welcomed me with open arms regardless of my past & for that I love you more then anything. You took me in like you take in your animals and showered me with unconditional love.And know my love for you was & is unconditional!

To the Love of my life, My Best Friend. Thank you for the Wonderful life you gave me. I wouldn't change one thing about our life. I never knew anyone who Loved Life the way you did, Thank you for your Love for Family, Friends, Your giving way to Strangers, Also your Love for the Animals. I'll keep your Memory alive. I love and Miss you.

Thank you "Little Brother" for just being you. No one will ever have such a wonderful person for a Brother. I was so fortunate. As we were growing up the fighting, the laughter, the just being together. The many happy times we had, the sad times and now our temporary separation. Thank you, Vance, Thank you I love you so . . . .

There will never be another person like my Big Brother Vance. I miss him so much and feel a terrible awful void in my life with his loss. The only comfort is knowing he's with Mom and Daddy and that he is looking over us. I miss you, Vance, and love you with all my heart. J

Vance, a great big lovable bundle of joy, always there to help, would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it, I will really miss his laugh. Though we didn't get to spend as much time together as we would have liked to the time we had was fantastic, will keep those memories alive for anyone wanting to be reminded about his ways an life, love you big guy.
