To the greatest, sweetest uncle ever! You will be missed! Your gentle spirit will live on forever in our hearts! I had pulled out some of the letters that you wrote to Charlie, Carson and I. We enjoyed reading them and remembering your kindness. You always sent us love and God’s blessing. I know that he is blessing you now as he receives you into heaven. So glad you are being reunited with Gran whom you loved and cared for so much. I have so many treasured childhood memories of you, also. Until we meet again – sending you our love.
Teresa, Charlie and Carson Davis
