My 2 MOST favorite uncles, you and Zeno, are now both gone. I'm not going to lie...I hate it! But I realize that you are now in a better place where there is no pain, no suffering, just peace. And knowing that makes losing you a little easier. You always had my back no matter what and I will never forget that. I will miss you but it is time for you to rest and I have to accept that. Love you forever, Daphne
