As a little child I knew a few basic truths -
God is Love
Uncle Waldo loved me
And I loved Uncle Waldo
For so many years I searched for more, tried to achieve more, hoped for more.
Then just a few days before my uncle was gone, God revealed to me that I had all
that I ever needed because I had my familys love.
So for every ride on the tractor, for every time we worked in the fields, for every
time we tended the animals and every time we went fishing, I thank you Uncle
Waldo for keeping me close to you because you loved me so much. I miss those
precious memories more and more every day.
Through Gods grace and mercy. He allowed us to say our goodbyes and that we
loved each other - just the same as always. I love you Uncle Waldo and thank you
for all youve done.
Love alwavs.
