Not sure what to say?

My Uncle Jim was the best uncle. He truly loved me and my brothers and sisters: Chuck, Shawn, Ronny and Susan. He called all of us his babies. I’m not sure why, but It showed how much he loved and cared about us! He was a great man and a true and honest man. I will miss you Uncle Jim and also I will miss Debbie! I’m sure you and Debbie are happy up in Heaven because you are now with my Aunt Betty, who I loved dearly!

Uncle Jim was a very special person. I know he loved his family very much. My sympathy to Sheri and her family.

My dearest uncle Jim,
Thank you for being an amazing part of my life and allowing me to be there and hug you and talk to you and hold your hand in the end. You were always sweet and kind to me despite what you you were dealing with. Im glad you are finally at peace and with aunt Betty and Debbie. Cant wait to see you again
Love
Dawn Rhena
