Freddy, Tina and Falon, I wish I could be there with you and see my uncle one last time. However, I will always have good memories of him. He always seemed to be smiling. I am so thankful I got to see him at JP's wedding and he was able to visit at Mom's house when I was just there in APR. He, as well as all 3 of you, were always so good to help Aunts Irene, Rose, Ede and Dolores. It makes me smile to think how happy he will be when he is reunited with your mom. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I miss you guys and hope to see you when I am home again.
