I'm so sad that I couldn't make it to the funeral today for Uncle John. He was like a second father to my sisters and I, and I'll miss him very much. I'm glad that I was able to see him last Christmas. Love to my family back home.

I'm so sorry to hear of Uncle John's passing and very sorry that I won't be able to make it to the funeral. I will always have fond memories of him teaching me to fish and taking me for a walk in the woods as a little girl (along with my sisters). I know he loved the outdoors just as much as I do and will always cherish our shared love of nature.
My prayers and condolences to the family and loved ones. Please know that I'm sharing in your grief.
Love,
Rachael
