It has been an absolute honor to have known my very good friend Vincenzo Romeo. He was by far the bravest and most honorable person I ever knew. His presence on Earth was a gift from God and will never be forgotten. He was a true friend that anyonce could rely on. My life will never be the same after losing a friend that I call my brother. Words will never be enough to console the beautiful family of our fallen hero. However, he deserves all the praise and respect that can be given. I want to thank his parents for giving life to such an extrordinary human being. I want them to know that I will always be there for them and I consider them to be my family as well.
