I will miss you uncle brother, your soft speaking voice. And a smile with a glow. Ben and I will love you for ever, rest in peace "the storm is over".

Uncle Brother, we loved you so much. We tried to give you flowers while you lived, but you were the lilly that would not wilt. You spent each passing day watering your heart so that you could worship others. You would not stop until finally God spoke and said, "today is your day." God separated your heart from the beautiful lilly you were and whispered in your ears, I have a place prepared just for you not made by man's hand; you can walk around heaven all day and the only Heavenly hosts you have to worship is your Creator and My Son Jesus Christ who took care of all things on the cross for you. Enter into my Kingdom, you faithful servant, you have fought a good fight, and indeed I am pleased. Welcome home.

Uncle Brother, we love you so much. We tried to give you flowers while you lived, but your work on earth was too busy worshipping and making others happy. Our God welcomes you with open arms into a place not made by man's hand where you can walk around heaven all day praising only your God and Jesus Christ. May heaven smile upon your good works, RIP.

A Reminiscence

YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.

May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.

Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;

To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. RIP Uncle Brother. . .
