Uncle Jr I wish I would’ve visited you more! We forgot that life is to short and expect we all will be here forever. Wish I could have been there holding your hand well you closed your eyes for the last time but I know it was your time to go home to grandpa and grandma and all your brothers and sisters. I will miss our time together and thank you for always helping me with no questions asked. I love you and rest in peace
