To my Uncle,
You meant a lot to Myself and the family although we may not have always showed or said it because in our selfish minds we felt like you would always be around. You would be so proud of how the family has wrapped their arms around your kids to help take some of the stress away from them. In the words of your late mother "The Calvary has circled the wagon". I never thought I would say this but I'm going to miss hearing "This the French connection calling"-

Love Always,
Coke
