I'm sad for your loss and I'm sorry I wasn't there with you. It was 14 years ago September 26 that I lost my mother, his baby sister Elizabeth, we were blessed to have them. I loved my uncle very much even though I was never around to show it. I admired him so much and as a little girl looked forward to your family visits. You are all in my prayers and have a special place in my heart always.
