My Cousin wrote this regarding my daughter's wedding and the passing of my uncle Junior.

Upon reflection of how elegantly Allen Stover posed the following message, its value and meaning were astonishingly apparent.

"Congratulations on the wedding and the great memories that will surely follow. Life has a way of giving us great moments, and then teaching us great lessons. Those we love and cherish are only on loan, to make our lives better, for a little while. Cherish every moment and live them like they are our last. ... None of us have a guarantee that tomorrow will ever come. Take a moment the cherish the memories of both the wedding, and the fond memories of your uncle Junior.”
Love Always, Phyllis

To Frank's Family,

Frank was a good friend and an outstanding person. I always appreciated his positive attitude because he would say, "No matter what happens, it could be worse."
I will miss my friend but I'll be comforted by his words, "It could be worse."
