I have been so blessed to have you for my uncle all my life. I love you so much. You made me laugh-your sense of humor was priceless! I know you are up in heaven making the angels laugh and holding Chrissy on your lap. Say hello to Nannie and Granddaddy for me. We will all miss you so much.

All My Love,

Pat (aka Most Fav-or-ite Niece)
