A guest blog by Laurie March
I quietly watch the rain today and can only think of the Wildgen family (Bill, Mary, sister Darian, brother Mathew) and their delightful young, Vinny; a bright light, so full of hope and wonder. I imagine how their home must seem so empty, so strange…I can’t help crying.
Our sweet Vinny, courageous, curios, clever and so cute, has left us. He touched so many lives in his brief time with us, young and old. His amazing spirit will live on in our hearts. I pray for strength for his family, for their trust in the Lord.
To the Wildgens, know that your son had an important purpose. Those who met Vinny were profoundly touched by him. He made us smile. He gave us all hope. He made us forget our own trivial problems.
With time, these gray clouds will slowly turn to sunshine. Let us all keep Vinny’s ray of light in our hearts and let us never stop fighting.
