My dearest, perfect niece Lori Ann,

You were a gift from heaven for your mother and me. I remember changing your diapers and, later, spending time with you playing games.

When you became a beautiful, young woman, we became as much best friends and confidants as niece/uncle and we would stay up to the wee hours of the morning talking about our life's issues.

Still later as I became an old man and unable to stay up late, you would worry about me and my health but we still found time to have our serious talks along with some laughs.

I miss you so very much already and that hole in my heart will never be filled.

Love,
Uncle Bud
