Dear Uncle Mel,
I remember how much you loved to fish! You inspired me to love God's beautiful outdoors. Are there fish up in Heaven? If so, I'll bet you're busy catching them. You and Aunt Marjorie always had such fun together and had such a great sense of humor. There must be quite the reunion in Heaven. Can I come, too? I'd love to see you again, but I guess I'll have to wait my turn. In the meantime, we cherish the memories of times growing up with our wonderful Aunt & Uncle. God be with you 'til we meet again. Thank-you for the wonderful memories! Lots of love from your Niece Karen!

We are sad to hear of your dad's passing. He was one of a kind and now he is with his lovely wife. They were charming and devoted to each other. What a wonderful example of marriage.
