My Uncle,
I will remember him fondly, but mostly from a childhood connection and especially that he blessed our family a time ago by providing us a wonderful Schnauzer dog. It was great to speak to him, though only much later as a man, and ultimately in his last days, sharing a laugh and truly connecting with him on that level.
Ever-lasting memory, and respect . .

Heavenly Father, You sent Christ Jesus your Son to wash away the sins of all mankind through His perfect sacrifice, and you cleansed our departed brothers and sisters in the waters of baptism. May His perfect sacrifice free them from the power of death and give them eternal life. In your mercy, O Lord, grant them eternal rest, and may perpetual light shine on them forever. Amen…I will always miss you,
Love Sis.
