“Just wanted to share this story with you about the day I introduced my daughter to Vince because I think it would make him so happy.
My wife and I started reading his novels when we got married 19 years ago and absolutely loved them. So much so that we named our daughter Anna Riley.
We had the chance to meet Vince once and, even though she was only 3 at the time, she proceeded to lecture him about the fate of her namesake. It was hysterical. I’ll never forget the look on his face when she told him her name.
She’s 16 now. Varsity lacrosse player, amazing singer, local beauty queen, highly involved in our church and an all around wonderful American girl. I think Vince would be super proud. Miss him greatly.” - Todd
