What a wonderful man, & what a lovely legacy he leaves behind. He was always so warm and kind. I will never forget that grace. May your hearts find peace during this difficult time.
May my uncle RIP. Remember him always sharing stories about the family and many other interesting things. When he would stay at my father’s, they would come over my house for dinner and I always looked forward to my uncle’s charming humor and story telling. Praying for peace and comfort for my Tia Alicia and my cousins.
