Uncle Gerard,
I used to love your visits. Even though it would be years between them, it was always like I had just seen you yesterday. You were just so easy to talk to, funny, unassuming and lovely to be with. You definitely had that Holy vibe going which I loved. It just eminated from you, you didn't have to try. I loved receiving letters from you. They made me feel so important and you had the most beautiful hand writing. Uncle Gerard, for someone who was never physically present in my life for long due to your work, You were still such a lovely presence in my life. See you on the flip, Father/Uncle Gerard.
All my love, Selina.
