Uncle Tut
I feel so blessed !
It's like I've had two Moms & two Dads.
I remember living on Shrewsbury St.
with you and Auntie, Barbara, & Annie.
Thank you for opening your home and Heart to me. I was too young then to realize the undertaking and sacrificing you and Auntie did for me.
Thank you Barbara & Annie for sharing your Mom & Dad with me!
I'm sure there must have been times that it wasn't fun to share them, Yet through all that time all I felt was Love from all of you , Thank You.
I've heard this expression many times through the years, "any man can be a father, buth it takes a special man to be a Dad, Thank you for being that Special Man.
Thank you for all the laughter, all the Love, and that precious sense of humor that was only yours.
Love you,
your son Butch

As your dad moves into his personal experience of new life, may you, too, Barbara, know deep in your heart that peace that only faith can bring at a time of loss. I wish this same peace for your mom. I've never forgotten those many hours chitchatting about the meaning of life...and have often wondered how this life has guided your journey. I hold you and your family in prayer. (Sister Mary Germaine,ssa of your past...)
