"To my uncle, I loved you here and I will love you there. I will always remember you. The last time I saw you(in the hospital with grandma), you seemed very happy to be around your family and seemed to be in a good place. I also remember going to eat at Crackel Barrel and you were trying to get my Ayanna to remember your name. We laughed so hard. I will always have that lasting memory of you--Thank you! I miss you and I love you!!
