19years ago my uncle was murder in my grandparents backyard on my grandfather birthday. some low life idiots didn’t care that they took him from his family. He was a brother, son, uncle , cousin and father. he never had the chance to watch his son grow up how would you feel if you never got the chance to hold your child and see your family again. i pray and pray that my family gets justice and them idiots spend the rest of their lives in jail for what they did to you 😡 uncle If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane, I’d walk right up to Heaven And bring you home again. You are Always in our hearts Gone yet not forgotten May the winds of heaven blow softly and whisper in your ear How much we love and miss you and wish that you were here. 💙

Forever you’re niece Maureen.
