Dear Beloved Brother

I know you are looking down at us but remember each day I'm looking up at you and want you to know that I miss you so very much.

Perhaps they are not the stars,but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost one shines down to let us know they are with us.



In my heart forever

My dear Uncle, you will be greatly missed...I love you so much, and will never be the same now that you are gone. You have given my family so many wonderful memories, and I will always keep you close in my heart. God has truly blessed me with a special Uncle. One day we will meet again in a better place, and maybe you and I can go for a cruise in the lexus :) May God be with you always.

With all my love,

your niece April
