                                            My Special Uncle 

It takes many special qualities

To make an uncle like you,

A lot of care and kindness

And understanding, too...

It takes a special kind of love

That seems to know no end

And the thoughtfulness and patience

Of a true and trusted friend...

It takes many special qualities

To make an uncle like you,

And that's why you

Are loved so much

Today and all year through.

He departed this world to soon, but he will never be forgotten.

               We LOVE you Uncle Sylvester, from Chandra and Tamika.
