Uncle Toe,
Words can never express how special you are and how much you have meant to everyone. Your leaving left such an emptiness in our lives, but I know you are forever well now and in God’s presence and I can only imagine the smile on your face and I am so thankful that you are my uncle and for having you in my life, a true blessing. You touched everyone you met in such a special way, like an angel here on earth. We love you so much.
What a long life so have to be thankful for that! Remember the good times. God Bless
Prayers for all
Marshall and Paulette;
I’m sorry for the loss of your brother. He had a long and fruitful life, something to be thankful for even while you are mourning. I look forward to seeing each of you sometime when I visit ‘Fayetteville. I have many fond memories of you both.
Jim
