Brother In Law,

I will miss you, and all of your telephone calls,
especially when you were truck driving, and you were lost and would call for directions. Well you are,
No longer lost.
You have now been found,
And on your way home.
May you rest in peace.

I will miss you Uncle Sonny. I'll always remember playing fetch with you behind your house on the sand dune. Now you will be reunited with Rum the Cat.
