My dearest Uncle Daddy; I miss you so much. I miss your hugs, your story telling, your smile,,, the way your eyes crinkled up.... Hardly a day goes by, even after all these years that I don’t think of you. I walk past your picture daily, I blow you a kiss. You were my rock, my haven, my keeper of secrets, when I was growing up. You are in my heart. I love you. Tell my Daddy Murray that I love him too. I know that you are all together. Uncle Herold too. XO Your niece, Luciel - Posted by: Luciel Hansen (Niece) on: May 31, 2018
