Donna and family...There is nothing I can say but my heart is heavy for you all. You're not strangers to grief but it never gets easier. Our Lord can help us. I'll be praying.

Though I cannot be there to say goodbye I will be here sending my love to you all...words can never express the way my uncle made me feel...he put me on a pedestal! One that I could really never live up to but that was just him so kind, so loving... I will surely miss that man but I know he will be taking care from above.
