LITTLE DID I KNOW SEVERAL DAYS AGO GOD WAS GOING TO CALL MY UNCLE BILL HOME. I WASNT DONE SHARING MY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT OUR GARDENS OR MOST OF ALL THE OLD DAYS. OF TIMES AT OUR SUMMER HOME AND BY GRANDMAS HOUSE. UNCLE BILL NEVER FORGOT ANYTHING OF THESE DAYS. THE ONLY COMFORT I TAKE IN IS THAT HE IS WITH MY DAD AND HIS MOTHER WHOM HE LOVED AND MISSED SO VERY MUCH. I WILL MISS YOU AND ALWAYS KEEP YOU IN MY HEART. YOUR NEICE LENORE
