  5. My uncle D.R. always had a smile and a joke to tell you to make you smile.He always had a hug for me. I love him dearly. He enjoyed his life to the fullest' as far as I know. The one thing I don't like about life is the older we get' the more it hurts. Physically and emotionally. The body that God gives us tends to wear out and I personally can not stand to lose anymore of my love ones. Family and friends. I can only tell you' life is what you make of it and I'm very grateful to God and my parents for hanging in there. Uncle D.R.' I hope you knew how much you meant to me' you are the sweetest person. I will always smile when I think of you. I love you.
