I will dearly miss my uncle Hosea. I knew little of him but what I did know, I loved. I loved to see him in church and I absolutely loved to hear him sing. I loved to hear him sing 'In the Garden'. I always knew that at church or a funeral or some sort of gathering I would hear uncle Hosea sing that song...and although it saddens me, its now time for someone else to sing 'In the Garden' for my dear uncle. I would like to send my condolences and a heartfelt prayer to the Carney and Elliott family. He may be gone but will never be forgotten.
