    Words can’t describe how I felt when I received the news and words can’t describe how I feel now. But I do know that God knows what is best and He is too wise to make a mistake. The love He has for you far exceeds the love we have for you! I take comfort in knowing to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We knew we were Uncle and Nephew but grew up as brothers. You will forever be in my heart. Rest In Peace Nephew. God loved you best!
