Uncle Lonnie,
I hope in time that your love and precious memories will heal our broken hearts. I thank God that he chose me to walk thru this life with you. You always treated me as a younger sibling and I cherish that bond. I always looked up to you while growing up. Thank you for the M & M tea parties even if I did have to play cars with you. We still have a picture of us doing that very thing. You were around 8 and I was about 2 years old. Precious Memories!!!!!!
Love You,
