Dear Uncle Elvis,
This is your nephew Troy. I hate to see you gone, but I know your in better place then we are right now. I can't find the words to express how we all feel. "The family will miss you dearly". Save us a spot up there and tell grandma I said "hello and I'm doing better then I ever have". I know that you'll be one of our guardian angels and we'll all be able to be with each other again.

I LOVE YOU UNCLE ELVIS AND WILL MISS YOU!
LOVE YOUR NEPHEW,
TROY!!
REST IN PEACE!
