As I sit here blank for words...all I can say is the memories we shared I will always cherish in my heart. From the stories of growing up, to telling me when I pay my own bills I'll shop at the dollar store and....you were right, but just being able to sit down and learn and thing or two from you even if you explained it in zork language! I love you so much G you were definitely the best/coolest uncle any girl could have! It's not goodbye it's see you later!
