Bless you all at this time. You are remembered and so is your father. He will look upon you from heaven and send blessings your way. He misses you as much as you miss him. May knowing he is free from pain and illness be a comfort to you.
It was so nice to see him and all of you at Aunt Pat’s birthday a few weeks ago. Lots of love and hugs,
Your cousin Mary Anne

So sorry to hear of your loss. Uncle Lionel was a shy, quiet and gentle man who deeply loved his family. You are his legacy and a shining example to the rest of us of just what love and kindness can produce.
