Remembering all the good times I had at your house. We don't know exactly how you feel but may it help to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.
You were a great uncle who taught me many life lessons. Love your home during the holidays from all of your baking and playing cards against you. You were hard to beat. Every summer waiting for your watermelons to get ripe and eating until we were sick. Your memory will be forever in my heart. RIP Uncle T
Praying for you all. God has another Angel.
May you feel the presence of God in this time of bereavement, and may the lessons your father taught you and the many memories you cherish bring you comfort in the days ahead. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Great memories! Every year I was welcome to cousin Thelma's melon patch., where I was allowed to pick one just for me! 🙂 I learned to play a great game of spades (cards) from my cousin Thelma. 🙂 There are so many more memories….COUSINS; You are in my thoughts and PRAYERS.
