Friends, today, Thursday, October 28, after a 2 years fight with a devastating cancer, Nicu Vanciu has gone home to be with the Lord. He was at peace and his faith was unshakable. He was surrounded by his wife Cecilia, his sister and his 6 children: Claudia, Bogdan, Bianca, Dallara, Camelia and Andreea. Besides family, Nicu is being missed by so many people such as the children whom he built cool Christmas or VBS sets for and the thousands of people he cooked amazing meals for. Our hearts are broken, but we are also hopeful. We are grateful for his life and impact and we know he is with the Lord. This is the time to show our love to his family. "Love is kind... It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." Love gives. Nicu loved his family and he loved you all. He was the breadwinner of the house. Friends, love them back! You could show your love through a donation that will cover expenses and help the family in this trying time. In lieu of flowers, you could make a donation here. People could also donate to "the Vanciu Family Fund" through Philadelphia Church Chicago. Thank you very much.
