Uncle Sam
I will always remember you as a very kind person. You were the last of your generation in the family and your passing is like a reality check of what life has in store for all of us. The kids and I enjoyed our visit with you and listening to you answer their questions about your garden.
While I only dreamed of my grandma the other night you get the chance to be with her.
I love you.
Rest peacefully,
Michele
