“It’s been said that we die more than once; Once when we take our last breath and each time our names are said or spoken of by someone for the very last time. I’m not sure if that’s what God meant by eternal life or not but I’m hoping that that’s at least part of what God meant. You’ll always be remembered, Uncle Joe, and you’re already much more than very terribly very very missed.”
