Uncle Claude,
I have missed you every day since you passed away.  I still look for you at the nursing home when I go to see Mother (your youngest sister).  You always had a smile on your face and so cheerful to the ones you meet. Our family will all be together some day and what a blessing it will be.
Your niece,
Becky (Farmer) Barnette (Franklin, TN)
