There are no words to describe the ache in my heart. Losing you has left a hole in my heart that will take a long time to heal. I will always cherish the lifetime of memories I have with you. Your gentle manner and kindness was felt by those that love you, and all who knew you. I’m already missing the phone calls that always started out with “Is this my handsome uncle”. You are and always will be so very special to me, and will stay in my heart forever.
