I will always remember you, Uncle Sonny.
This prayer is said in your memory:

Thy name is my healing.
O my God, and remembrance of Thee is my remedy.
Nearness to Thee is my hope, and love for Thee is my companion.
Thy mercy to me is my healing and my succor in both this world and the world to come.
Thou, verily, art the All-Bountiful, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
Baha'u'llah

On the anniversary of Uncle Herman D. Spencer we will pray for his soul and remember how he loved my Mother's cooking and would always show up at our house for supper.

I remember when my mother was in the hospital, Uncle Sonny was so kind to
me when I arrived in Buffalo to visit her, knowing how hard it was for me to see her
he walked me in, as he knew the shock would be overwhelming.
Uncle Sonny was so gentle and loving when he said he couldn't go further....
This memory will always be my favorite among many others.
I'm so sorry we couldn't be with you Sean, so I leave you with this prayer for my Uncle Sonny.

O my God ! O Thou forgiver of sins, bestower of gifts, dispeller of affections!
Verily, I beseech Thee to forgive the sins of such as have abandoned the physical
garment and have ascended to the spiritual world.
O my Lord! Purify them from trespasses, dispel their sorrows, and change their darkness into light.Cause them to enter the garden of happiness, cleanse them with the most pure water, and grant them to behold Thy splendors on the loftiest mount.
From the Bahai Writings

May Uncle Sonny's spirit wing it's way with the utmost joy and happiness towards God.

Never had the pleasure of meeting Herman. But I do know he raised a wonderful son in my colleague Sheldon. My condolences to all his family and friends.
