Uncle Lyle was a good man with a big heart. He always gave the biggest hugs! He will be missed here on Earth, but he's loving it in Heaven. For that, I am happy for him.
Don't worry Uncle Lyle. I'll talk to you like I do the other people I love who moved onward and upward. Have fun with my Mom and Dad!
