I REMEMBER YOU NICK/NAMING ME 'CHIEF', THAT NAME HAS STAYED WITH ME ALL THESE YEARS BECAUSE EVEN MY HUSBAND WOULD CALL ME THAT.I REMEMBER WHEN I STARTED KINDER HOW YOU BOUGHT ME PRETTY DRESSES AND NICE CLOTHES FOR ME TO WEAR, I KNOW I THANKED YOU, BUT THANKS AGAIN. I REMEMBER YOU SHOWED ME HOW TO DANCE AND YOU TOOK ME TO MY FIRST DANCE, I DIDNT KNOW HOW TOO, BUT YOU SAID FOLLOW ME AND I DID AND I FINALLY LEARNED, EVEN THOUGH YOU SAID I HAD TWO LEFT FEET.THANKS, FOR BEING AROUND FOR ME WHEN I WAS A KID AND THANKS FOR ALL THE MEMORIES, I SHARED YOUR GOOD TIMES AND THE NOT SO GOOD TIMES BUT WE BOTH SURVIVED. NOW YOU ARE IN HEAVEN AND FINALLY RESTING IN PEACE. IN CASE I DIDNT SAY IT ENOUGH, YOU WERE MY NO.1 UNCLE AND THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOU DID FOR ME AS A KID, THIS BIG KID NOW APPRECIATED IT VERY MUCH.
