I was so sorry to hear of the passing of my Dad’s brother. Although I haven’t seen him since my own fathers passing in 1984, I’ve still thought of him often and wondered how he was. May he rest in peace.

Although unfortunately, it has been years since our families shared time together, I have fond memories of the kind man & his family we knew as Uncle Raisin. Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. He will be remembered in my prayers.
