My uncle Terry passed away last Saturday night.
He was a great man. I will remember him best for his great sense of humor. It's hard to see your relatives go. He will be greatly missed. I know it's expecially hard on my parents who are on their mission right now because they wish they could be here to support Aunt Judy and her family. My thoughts are with his family at this very difficult time.
