Rest well, Uncle William. I will miss you. Thanks for all you’re help with my mom. I know you’re in no more pain and you can be with your mom and siblings resting in eternal peace.

To the family,
I know you were not ready for this loss. I know you weren’t repaired for how much it would hurt and I realized the passing of your loved one from earth into heaven is a cause for rejoicing. But you are still here. Can’t help but to cry and I know you will miss him. But God himself will be with you and he’ll wipe every tear from your eyes and there will be no more mourning, crying or pain. One day the Lord will turn all of the mourning into laughter. But until then, my prayer will be that this family will seek comfort as you go through the valley of the shadow of death. I look forward to the day when you can look back on grief with a heart full of joy. Now that he is truly with the master, our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. May God bless you all.
Henry Lee.
