Flowers fade... but memories are a lifetime. Your time on earth seemed all too brief, maybe because I wanted you in my life forever and although I really miss you, in my heart I know that you are at peace. Still, countless times throughout the day I find myself remembering you and the times I would see you uptown saying, "Hey Baby come here, this is my niece". Although I cannot see or hear you, I know that you are with us.
I'll feel you in the warmth of the summer sun. I'll see you in the brilliance of autumn leaves. You'll be beside me in the peacefulness of a gentle snowfall and rejoicing with me at the emergence of the first flowers of spring. I'm thankful for the times we shared and the priceless memories too; for those memories are a comfort now when I lovingly - Remember You.
Unc, I never asked you for much, but can you do me a favor???? Say hello to my Dad your brother...
