*A Trubute to uncle Joe* For all the many blessings however great or small having you for an uncle was the greatest one of all. The family chain is broken now and nothing seems the same. But as god takes us one by one the chain will link again.   It broke our hearts to lose you, but you never went alone, for a part of us went with you, the day God took you home. A million times we missed you, A million times we cried, If love could have saved you, you never would have died. To the grave you travel, Our flowers placed with care, No-one knows the heartache, as we turn to leave you there. If tears could build a stairway, and memories could make a lane, we would walk right up to heaven, and bring you home again. Uncle may you rest in the arms of the Lord who formed you from the dust of the earth. May holy Mary, the angels and all the saints welcome you now that you have gone forth from this life.  May Christ who was crucified for you, bring you freedom and peace. May Christ who died for you admit you into his garden of paradise. We love you uncle, sleep well in heaven with the angels Rest in perfect peace.
