Please know how very sorry I am for the loss of Uncle Alex. The few times I seen him after Aunt Patsy passed, he seemed to be so lost without her... I think he was at piece with joining her in a place of, FOREVER AFTER.... They brought 2 beautiful daughters into this world with much love & the two of you extended their family with children & grandchildren... Be there for each other always, because family is so important ... Love & Prayers
