Dear Friends,
I just received news of the sudden death of a father of eight who was once a member of our local homeschooling group:
Dear friends,
Our dear friend Vinnie C. passed away today of a sudden heart attack, leaving his beloved wife Cathy, 7 months pregnant with 7 children.
There are no burial plans at this time, and the family needs our prayers.
Vinnie died with his family around him, and received Extreme Unction.
Eternal rest grant to him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him,
may his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.
Amen.
(The message was sent to us by "Marysjoys," a member of 4Real and friend of Vinnie and his family.)
Please keep the family in your prayers, especially Cathy who will have to welcome their new little one into the world alone. It is so unspeakably sad.

This is so awful! I have a friend whose husband died while she was pregnant with her 5th child. It is just so sad all around. I will pray for them all.

I just can't even imagine.....
Praying for Vinnie's soul and especially for Cathy.
Alice, please let us know if there is anything she might need besides prayer.
