Uncle Johnny, You and Aunt Lucille were two of the most genuine, sincere people that I was blessed to have come into my life. The two of you had my utmost respect.
Now, that you have gone to join your heavenly family, I can say that we here, are far better for having been touched by your kind heart.
With love and respect
