Vance was an amazing man. He is always someone I have admired and looked up to since I was little. He was always there to whip my horse into shape or talk about a ball game:). Heaven gained a good one- until we meet again

I am so sorry for the family. But Vance is where he wants to be with his family that has gone on before. I am sure they are all glad to see him again. This is a tough thing to get over and his passing will never be over. But just know that love never dies. Love him forever and cherish the memories. I know I have some from knowing Vance and Betty. Love Carol
