When I was young, my father died at the age of 31, leaving my mother, Laura alone, 8 months pregnant with 4 young children in the middle of the inner city. To say life was hard is an understatement, but my mom loved us with all of her heart and fought all the way to the end of her life at 65 years of age. My Aunt Arlene and Uncle Gene were life saviors as they visited us often, and offered her friendship and love which sustained her throughout her life. Uncle Gene was an incredible man who did whatever he could to help others. I loved him dearly, and I thanked him for everything he did for us when I was younger. He knew how much I loved him and cared about him. Arlene was my mother's best friend to the very end. They spoke every day of their lives until the end when my mom became too ill with cancer. My mother spoke of them often with love. You cannot replace that kind of love, but you can remember it, and try to carry it out in your own life. Uncle Gene has always been an inspiration to me for the kind of Christian he was. He never spoke an ill word of anyone in front of me. He was a true example of a man who practiced Christianity every day of his life. I will always remember him and love him eternally.
