Finally you’re at peace. Betty and Jean, my condolences to you at your loss.
Goodbye Uncle. I will never forget that you let a bored little girl walk your Slinky down the stairs at Grandma & Grandpa’s house. I am so glad that your soul can soar now that your body is at peace.
And my prayers to Aunt Betty, Jean, Dad, and all the others whose lives were touched my this gentle man.
Love, Lorna
Bruce, Timothy, and Amanda
