Dave and family, we are so very saddened by the passing of your dear Amelia. We feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to meet Amelia this summer at the boatyard and spend those precious days with her. She radiated joy and love and had the sweetest voice. No words can truly express our deepest sorrow, but please know that we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. Blessing to you all, Steve and Julie Miller and Jack Molly.

Lisa, I am sorry you are going through what no parent should experience. Even though my family never met yours, we feel a kinship from our Facebook communications and phone conversations. Amelia touched us all, especially Lynn. Many prayers are coming your way. Stay strong.

Story shared: The precious little girl and gift - Amelia

Wed, 25 Sep 2013 21:39:50 EDT

There was a little girl, whose parents I went to school with, whose mom I had known most of my life, that had moved into the neighborhood with her family where I lived in Litchfield. Her name was Amelia and she was around 3 years old. She was the most adorable little girl, like a little china doll with porcelain skin, petite in stature, and big brown eyes. She would try to keep up with her older siblings and the neighborhood kids when she had the chance, my son was good friends with her brother. I noticed I hadn't been seeing her as often and I remember her mom telling me that she was sick and there was no diagnosis. I would run into her mom every so often and little Amelia would not be feeling well and there were still no answers. After I moved from the neighborhood I ran into her mom one day and they were still discouraged. I lost touch. But recently Amelia came back on the radar, undergoing a serious procedure to try and help improve her quality of life from her since diagnosed disease. Her battle had been ongoing now for 13 years and this disease was causing multiple, chronic problems in her body - but she wasn't giving up, no, rather she was looking to her future, with plans on being a doctor so she could help sick children. Amelia's brother David was a brave and honorable young man, giving of himself in a very painful way to help his sister. I hope he understands what a gift of love he gave that she took home with her. Death steals from us our loved ones way too quickly sometimes. But death is not the end, death is seperation of spirit and body. Amelia's spirit and renewed body now soar on the wings of eagles, rejoicing, free from pain and sickness with the other saints in heaven. Jesus now cradles her in His arms and will keep her under His wings of love. It is not what was expected or desired here on earth for hearts run cold and empty with loss. I pray that each thought of Amelia by her loved ones is a celebration in their hearts of the precious little girl and gift - Amelia.

You are a family that truly deserved a miracle. I am so sorry that Amelia's journey ended this way. Having a relationship with you through her medical care was unfortunate but each month you came in to visit me it was a treat for me. It has been a pleasure to have you in my life. So many lessons I take away from our time together.

I was at LHS in 2011-2012 and that's where I met Amelia. She was in all of my classes and I was always so happy and kind. She was full of life and that's how I will remember her. My thoughts and love go to all the Vincenzi family and everybody who knew and and loved Amelia.

To the Vincenzi Family... I am shocked and heartbroken for all of you. I found out about this tragic news on Facebook. Even though I didn't know Amelia personally, growing up on Hart Drive with David, Mark, Santo and Ruth brings back those memories that seemed to have happened yesterday, while in reality so many years have passed. I still hold those near and dear to my heart and at this most difficult time I can only send my deepest sympathies and love to your family David. I'm truly so sorry. Love to all. Judy French

Story shared: Junior Prom

Tue, 24 Sep 2013 08:13:08 EDT

I remember the day Amelia told me I was going to Junior Prom, because I didn't want to go. So, I decided that I would go for her, and try my best to make her Junior Prom feel as close to her Senior Prom, because she told me she would still be recovering during Senior Prom. When Junior Prom rolled along, I saw Amelia and she looked like a complete Princess. The dress she had on just made her personality and beauty pop! I will never forget Junior Prom, because all of us girls had an awesome time, and we all ate a lot of food! Junior Prom was a once in a lifetime chance for Amelia. I am so glad I was able to be part of it!

While I never met you in person, the stories your cousin Melanie told about you lets me know what a loss we are at-to be such a young lady and have such a large impact on earth is amazing. Your beauty and warmth will be missed by everyone- but please let your spirit surround your family to help ease their pain. You are Home now, happy and healthy - but your love and laughter will stay here in your family's heart.

Amelia was always so bright and bubbly around school, at practice and events. She was always one of those girls that if you saw her during the day and you looked upset she would always make sure you were okay. She's in a better place now and is watching over all of us.
