Uncle Arnold,
You kind hearted, gentle-spirited soul, go rest your spirit now for you will no longer be sick or tired no more. I know your brothers, sons, and loved ones passed on were awaiting your arrival to be with them in everlasting life. I will never forget you, you lifted me up in myself when I needed a word of encouragement and I never seen a day go by when you weren't doing for another or smiling. You will be missed and I know I will see you and paw paw again someday. All of my family stay in my prayers.
