The last of a great family. Say hello to your (Big Sister), my mom for me.
When I was a kid I would go with my mom to visit uncle Nicky and aunt Annie. They had the most beautiful garden! I remember how beautiful the morning glories were that grew on the breezeway. In the spring uncle Nicky would give my mom Gloria (his youngest sister) seedlings. Aunt Annie and MaryAnn may peace be with you in this time of sorrow. Although I could not be with you today to celebrate uncle Nicky’s life and mourn his passing know that I am with you in spirit.
I am very sorry for your loss. May wonderful memories help you through the difficult days ahead. "And he Will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." (Revelation 21:4) May God's promise s also help to comfort you.
