A person that departs from this earth never truly leaves, for they are still alive in our hearts and minds, through us, they live on. Fond memories are what we have to remember and I have so many fond memories of my uncle, a great man! He has reached his final destination in life and is now united with our Lord and Savior. His kind face remains forever in our image. Now, the angels rejoice as a good soul has finally made its way home. I have faith that God will put him in a special place from where he will be watching us, the people who loved and cherished him!
