Still in disbelief my heart and mind still grapple with this loss. My Uncle epitomized this role in every essence of his being. I remember his presence and excitement in my younger life with words of encouragement. As I grew into my adult life a loving natural questioning concern in his voice followed by enthusiasm with with my updates. As I have been here, there and everywhere my visits home were less. But each visit that was blessed with his presence carried three things...a loving embrace, a smile, and that signature bellowing laugh. I am forever grateful for him. Auntie Lydia, Sidney, Lionel, Annie and Raven my heart is with you. Love Cousin Joycelyn
