To Everyone,

I have really got to know Uncle Henry the past three years and see what love he had for Aunt Pat. He lived his life to make her as happy as he possibly could. He took her out as often as he could even though it was so hard to get her in and out of the house. He was not the same without her in his life. Over the past several weeks, I would asking him how he was doing and he could speak without talking about Aunt Pat and crying. He is now truly happy and living eternally with her. This is what he wanted even though is hurts everyone and we will all miss him. I still lay here at night thinking I'm going to here someone drop him off from a late night out, I will here him giggling with joy, and he will come to his door, dropping his keys before he finally gets the door open and then yell "good bye". That will be the Uncle Henry I will remember. He was always happy but not lately. I will miss u so much. Even though I should have been the one looking out for him, I did have some comfort knowing he was right next door if I ever needed anything. I will continue to pray that everyone makes it through this difficult time.
