Tragic year for family
Father stricken by ALS, can’t walk, talk

“This year, this journey has been such a life lesson for our family. It made us realize that you should grab onto every second of life and love one another,” Wendy Hinkle said. “We are grateful to have this time, this holiday and we are overwhelmingly grateful to this amazing community that has supported us.”
A respite fund for Vance Hinkle has been established at Andover Bank. Donations can be made at any bank branch. Christmas gifts for the Hinkle children can be dropped off at Harvest International Church (The Dream Center) on West 57th Street.
