When I think about my Uncle I think about family. I think about how strong, smart and kind he was. How much I love going to his home and how inviting it always was. Everyone is welcomed. He makes me think about all the people I love. I guess I am trying to say My Uncle brought out the best in us. I love you Uncle James and tell my Mom I love her.

My dad was the best dad ever. He was a hard worker and provided for his family well. People always told me they loved to hear him talk. Although he was in this country for 55 years he still had that great Scottish accent. I love you dad,
