Dear Uncle Clair,
Clair
You took great care of me and my siblings when we would come and visit at times usually during Thanksgiving all those years ago. We really enjoyed our time with you.
I am glad your suffering is over not being able to see and hear well at all anymore.
I'm sure it was hard leaving Aunt Winona and your other loved ones.
I hope you are happy with your new beginning on the other side.
With much Love
Jim McDaniels (Jr)
